Ingredients

• 1 pound Red potatoes
• 1 bunch Asparagus
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and cut the spears into 2-inch lengths.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 12-15 minutes, until they are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, bring another pot of water to a boil and blanch the asparagus for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and crisp-tender. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, maple syrup, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 6

Add the cooked potatoes and asparagus to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat the vegetables in the dressing.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the salad and toss again to combine.

Step 8

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