Recipe:
Salad dressing:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 Tbsp stone ground mustard
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp fresh thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 lbs red new potatoes
1 cup sugar snap peas, steamed
1 Persian cucumber, sliced
1 shallot, sliced
10 oz multi-color grape tomatoes
To a pot of boiling water over a medium-high heat, carefully add red potatoes. Boil until just soft, about 7-10 mins.
Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette. In a bowl, add all vinaigrette ingredients and whisk together.
Strain potatoes and add to a salad serving bowl. Then add sugar snap peas, shallot, and grape tomatoes. Pour vinaigrette over and toss to evenly coat.
Serve and enjoy!

That looks… terrible.
It’s impossible to get a mouthful of everything, why would you not at least cut the potatoes in half or quarters?
Looks amazing!
Would.
Looks really good. If I had potatoes that small I probably wouldn’t cut them either. You get infinite points for posting the recipe in the post
Looks fantastic! I’m more team potato cutting but I find no fault in your style either. Looks and sounds delicious either way.
Reminds me of summer!
Love this! Perfect! I do something very similar! I also like my food to look like what it is (eg whole intact ingredients when possible) since a dish like this is all about those cute tasty veggies!
When getting fancy, I’ll also pulse a bit of fresh rosemary with some salt in a coffee grinder, let it sit to infuse, then put it on the table. Sometimes the meyers lemon is zested into it as well. Also the crushed stems from any herbs included (or leftover from that day). An allspice or juniper berry crushed goes well. Really, anything herbaceous except basil since it can overpower others (works best solo and dominant imo). Black lava salt is fun but any but smoked is Ok (since I think smoked also defeats the herby lemon olive vibe).
Baby peppers go great in this too. If tiny no seeds, just whole, if larger/seeds, halved to help “scoop up” everything else. I wouldn’t use carrots “in” this but might include the sticks on the side as a pallet cleanser, then maybe some grapes for balance.
Baked or BBQ’d tofu is what I usually pair it with (room temp leaning to cool). Or, edamame pods or also the seeds directly in the salad. If a lazy quick day even just some raw almonds are enough.
Really nice to see super simple whole foods! Thanks for sharing this. It clearly triggered me into also sharing! 😂🤩
