Ingredients

• 800 grams Baby potatoes
• 100 grams Gorgonzola cheese
• 100 grams Fresh arugula
• 50 grams Walnuts, toasted
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 3 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
• 1.5 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and leave the skin on. Cut them in half if they are large.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the orange balsamic dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

Step 4

Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let them cool.

Step 5

Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, transfer them to a large serving bowl. Add the fresh arugula, toasted walnuts, and roughly crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.

Step 6

Drizzle the orange balsamic dressing over the potato salad and gently toss to combine.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top for a fresh and vibrant garnish.

Step 8

Serve the potato salad warm, at room temperature, or chilled, depending on your preference.
