Printer Friendly
Serves 6-8 » Adapted from Foodnetwork.com

A very flavorful salad. If the cayenne makes you nervous, add less and increase later.

Ingredients:
    2 lbs small purple potatoes
    1 purple onion, diced
    2 celery stalks
    ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
    ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
    1 cup mayonnaise
    ¼ Dijon mustard
    1 teaspoon celery seed
    1 teaspoon cayenne
    1 tablespoon white vinegar
    1 lemon, juiced
    Salt and pepper, to taste


Preparation:

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the potatoes until fork tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Drain, then rinse in cold water, and cut into quarters. Place the warm potatoes in a large bowl and toss with onion, celery, dill and parsley.

In another bowl, stir together mayo, celery seed, cayenne, vinegar and lemon. Check seasoning.

Add the dressing to the vegetable mixture. Toss gently to coat taking care not to mash the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
