Asparagus Red Pepper And Potato Salad Recipes

ASPARAGUS, RED PEPPER, AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling water to cover until tender. Without peeling, cut the potatoes into ¾-inch cubes and put them in a bowl. Snap off the tough bottoms of the stalks of asparagus and discard, then cook the tender tops in a shallow pan of simmering salted water until tender-crisp. Drain and shock in cold water. Slice the asparagus into 1 ½-inch pieces and add to the potatoes. Cut the pepper into sticks about the same width and length as the asparagus. Put in the bowl. Add the red onion.
• Mix up the dressing by stirring together the mustard, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle in the oil, whisking constantly to emulsify. Add a couple of dashes of Tabasco to taste.
• Add the dressing to the vegetables and give a good stir. Serve right away for best color in the asparagus.
