Ingredients

• 500 g baby potatoes
• 300 g broccoli florets
• 100 g goat cheese
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 whole lemon (zested and juiced)
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Fill a medium-sized pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook them for 12-15 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the broccoli. In another pot, bring water to a boil and steam the broccoli florets for 4-5 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Place the warm potatoes in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and toss gently to coat. Let the potatoes absorb the flavors for 5-10 minutes.

Step 7

Add the broccoli florets to the potatoes and toss gently.

Step 8

Crumble the goat cheese over the salad and sprinkle with chopped parsley for added freshness.

Step 9

Serve the salad warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy!
