This recipe is super simple and you probably have all the ingredients on hand, especially if you have a garden full of potatoes! I used baby potatoes but have also made this salad with red potatoes and both are delicious. If you have extra vegetables in the garden like zucchini or peppers, roast those with your potatoes. You can also add spinach or arugula after you remove the roasted vegetables from the oven ~ add immediately so that they have time to wilt. So good! So many options ~ mix it up with whatever you have on hand in the refrigerator or garden.
I LOVE potato salad! My husband hates it! I love the traditional Newfoundland Potato Salad which is just boiled potatoes, either mashed or chopped, with a can of tin peas and carrots (it has to be from a tin and not the frozen ones!) and then all stirred together with mayo. LOVE LOVE LOVE! but not very healthy. This Roasted Asparagus and Potato Salad is a nice change of taste from the traditional, much healthier and my husband loves it. WIN WIN!
Make this for your Labour Day Weekend BBQ or serve it with your roasted chicken instead of the traditional Jiggs Dinner. If you try this salad, take a picture, paste it on Facebook or your InstaStory with the hashtag #aroundthebaywithdd.
