This is just so easy... and so crazy good, I really had no choice but to share it with you. Make it for yourself and you might be shouting from rooftops, too. Bring it to your next picnic, and you'll be a hero!
Pesto Potato Salad
- quartered potatoes: boiled
- snap peas
- fresh dill *
- sweet red onion chopped
- pesto dressing
Pesto Dressing
Your favorite pesto diluted with lemon juice, a light vinegar such as rice or champagne, and a touch of sweetness like maple syrup.This is what I combined in my food processor:
- basil
- garlic clove
- olive oil
- handful of pumpkin seeds (wonderful change of pace from pine nuts and walnuts)
- lemon juice
- vinegar
- salt
- maple syrup
* I have somehow always feared combining a dish that had both basil and dill... so glad I got over it, because this one WORKS!
we love fresh potatoe salads with peas and chives from the garden.

ReplyDeleteThis is the second pesto/potato dish to catch my eye recently... guess I'd better give it a go! It looks so very tasty!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! We have a lot of basil in our garden right now, so I'll give this a try!
ReplyDeleteSnap peas in potato salad?! Doh! Why didn't I think of that! With pesto coming on strong, and peas alongside, I dare say it's about time to give this a whirl... Thx for the idea!

ReplyDeleteThis looks like a recipe that will take full advantage of our new garden plot in the community garden. I can't wait to share it with the family!
ReplyDeleteooh, yum! I have ALL of those things on hand at home!
ReplyDeleteYum! This was SO good. I made it with green beans instead of snap peas as they're what's in season. Even my DH who is a picky veggie eater liked it. Thanks for sharing!
