Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds red potatoes
• 1.5 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
• 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Scrub the red potatoes clean and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw completely and pat dry.

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the corn kernels and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, and minced garlic to make the vinaigrette. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine the warm potatoes and sautéed corn. Pour the vinaigrette over the mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 7

Add the chopped parsley and sliced green onions. Give the salad another gentle toss to incorporate the herbs.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve the salad warm. For added flavor, garnish with additional parsley or a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
