Potato and asparagus salad is a refreshing and nutritious dish that's perfect for any occasion. Combining the heartiness of potatoes with the fresh, green crunch of asparagus, and enhanced by a tangy mustard dressing, this salad provides a well-balanced and flavor-packed meal.
- Choose firm, blemish-free potatoes and fresh asparagus with tight tips to ensure the best texture and flavor.
- Cooking the potatoes with their skins on helps maintain their flavor and nutrients. Peel them after boiling if desired.
- For a vibrant green color, blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Use a whisk or blender to emulsify the mustard, yolk, vinegar, and olive oil into a smooth and creamy dressing.
- Allow the salad to sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Garnish with fresh spearmint leaves just before serving for an extra burst of freshness.
By following these steps, you'll create a delightful potato and asparagus salad that's sure to impress. The combination of tender potatoes, crisp asparagus, and a zesty mustard dressing garnished with spearmint offers a harmonious blend of flavors, making this salad a standout choice for any dining occasion.
