New Potato Salad with Asparagus

Recipe Description

New Potato Salad with Asparagus is a delicious and healthy take on classic potato salad. And it makes a great side dish for any occasion. This salad features boiled new potatoes, pan-seared asparagus, crisp and juicy radishes, peppery arugula, and a tangy easy dressing. This recipe comes together quickly and delivers a flavorful dish that goes with almost anything.

You can boil the potatoes ahead and save some time. When ready to use, toss them with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon zest. To warm the potatoes up, just pop them into an oven preheated to 390 °F for 10 minutes. In this recipe, I like to use garlic-infused olive oil to sauté the asparagus. If you don’t have one, you can gently fry two smashed garlic cloves first and then use the infused oil to sear the asparagus.

To make the New Potato Salad with Asparagus, you will need the following ingredients:
