Creamy Asparagus Potato Salad Recipes

WARM POTATO ASPARAGUS SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes into a saucepan and cover with water. Bring it to a boil over high heat for 10 minutes, until only just fork tender.
• Drop the asparagus into the boiling water and let it cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain well and heat over low heat for about 15 seconds just to steam off any moisture.
• Add the onions and parsley to the saucepan and set aside.
• To make the dressing, place the oil vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic, salt and pepper in a small jar with a lid. Give it a good shake until cloudy and well mixed.
• Add the dressing to the saucepan and stir to combine everything well. Tip it onto a serving platter and serve.

CREAMY POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cool water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, salt, pepper, eggs, scallions, celery, shallots and lemon juice; stir to mix together. Add the mixture to the potatoes while still hot, mixing until the potatoes are coated. Transfer to a serving bowl.

CREAMY POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil, peel and cube 1 pound potatoes. Toss with 1 tablespoon cider vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix 1/4 cup each mayonnaise and sour cream and 2 tablespoons each horseradish and chopped chives. Toss with the potatoes, 1 chopped celery stalk, and salt and pepper.

ANNIVERSARY ASPARAGUS POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Microwave the lime in a small bowl to release essential oils, and set aside until it is just cool enough to handle. Through the feed tube opening of a running blender, add 1 at a time, champagne vinegar, garlic, shallot, sweet and sour sauce, honey, and the lime juice from the micro-waved lime. Leaving the blender running, add the coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Cut (or break for a more rustic look) the fingerlings in half, and add to a bowl with asparagus, red onion and cilantro. Add enough of the coconut milk dressing to coat and chill. Serve garnished with cilantro sprigs.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS & POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Trim the top off the garlic heads leaving the rest of the bulb intact.
• After a good cleaning, quarter the potatoes and place in a large bowl. Add the oregano, thyme, oil and stock. Now add the two garlic bulbs and toss together. Pour into a baking pan and roast for 30 minutes or until the garlic and potatoes are tender. Check about 20 minutes in and if the pan is very dry add another tablespoon or two of broth.
• Remove potatoes from the oven and pour off any remaining liquid into a bowl. Let the potatoes and garlic cool.
• Clean and trim the asparagus into 2-inch pieces. Steam or boil until they are cooked crisp tender (3 to 5 minutes). Plunge into cold water to stop the cooking and drain.
• Take the roasted garlic and gently squeeze the soft cloves into the bowl of oil drained from the roasting pan. Stir to create a nice dressing. If it seems too thick, add a little more broth. The exact thickness is up to you but I like mine thicker than a vinaigrette but thinner than a mayonnaise type dressing. For me that's about 2-4 tablespoons. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss together the roasted potatoes, asparagus, red onion, scallions and garlic dressing.
• Serve at room temperature.

Slice the asparagus into 1 1/2-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.
