Ingredients
- 2 lbs Baby potatoes
- 1 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh chives
- 3 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 4 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any large ones in half to ensure even cooking. Leave the skin on for added texture.
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, finely mince the garlic and chop the red onion, parsley, and chives. Set them aside for later use.
Step 4
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes. Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
Step 6
Add the chopped red onion, parsley, and chives to the potatoes. Pour the prepared dressing over the top.
Step 7
Gently toss the salad until the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Be careful not to break the potatoes.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 9
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
