Potato And Romaine Salad With Creamy Dijon Dressing Recipes

RED POTATO SALAD WITH DIJON DRESSING

Steps:

• Dice the red potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and place in a pot of cold water. Bring the potatoes to a simmer over high heat and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Once the potatoes are tender, when pierced with a knife, drain and transfer to a large bowl.
• To the bowl with the potatoes add the honey, mustards, oil and vinegar. Add the scallions, celery and dill, then toss everything with the honey mustard dressing. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

POTATO AND ROMAINE SALAD WITH CREAMY DIJON DRESSING

Steps:

• Make dressing:
• Blend first 5 ingredients in processor. With machine running add oil in slow steady stream. Add cream; blend mixture until thick and creamy. Mix in herbs. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using, thinning with water if dressing becomes too thick.)
• Make salad:
• Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling water until tender, abut 30 minutes. Drain and cool. Peel potatoes. Cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Transfer potatoes to large bowl. Sprinkle with cider vinegar. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• Whisk oil and vinegar in another large bowl. Add lettuce and toss to coat. Add capers to potatoes. Mix enough dressing into potatoes to coat. Spoon potatoes atop greens and serve.

CREAMY DIJON-DILL POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a big pot with enough water to cover by 1-inch. Season with salt and bring the water to a boil. Cook just until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and return them to the uncovered pot off the heat. Let them sit until almost room temperature. (Cooling them in the warm pot will get rid of any excess water in the potatoes, and that's good.)
• Meanwhile, cut the white parts off the ends of the celery stalks. Cut the stalks in half lengthwise, then across into 1/4-inch slices. Stir the celery, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the remaining ingredients together in a serving bowl large enough to hold all the potatoes.
• When they're cool, cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces, add them to the bowl as you go. Stir gently until all the potatoes are coated with dressing. You can make the salad up to a couple of hours in advance. Keep covered at room temperature. Don't refrigerate or the potatoes will lose their rich, smooth texture.
