Preparation Method : Boil/Simmer
This salad combines two of our best early summer vegetables, potatoes and peas, with seasonal herbs. Serve it warm or at room temperature. If your potatoes are small, leave them whole; halve or quarter larger ones.

Ingredients

• 

3 lb (1.5 kg) new potatoes, peeled

• 

1 egg yolk (or 2 tbsp/30 mL pasteurized liquid egg)

• 

1 small clove garlic, minced

• 

2 tbsp (30 mL) white wine vinegar

• 

2 tsp (10 mL) Dijon mustard

• 

1/2 tsp (2 mL) anchovy paste

• 

1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt

• 

1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper

• 

1/3 cup (75 mL) extra-virgin olive oil

• 

3 green onions, thinly sliced

1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped fresh chervil (or 2 tbsp/30 mL minced fresh parsley)

• 

2 cups (500 mL) cooked fresh or frozen peas

Preparation

In large pot of boiling salted water, boil potatoes until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and return to pan; cook over medium-low heat, shaking pan, until excess moisture evaporates, 1 to 2 minutes. Place in bowl.
