Ingredients

For the dressing:

  • cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper

For the potato salad:

  • 2 lbs potatoes
  • 1 ½ cups fiddleheads (or chopped asparagus)
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 large celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • cup parsley, chopped
  • cup dill, chopped

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl and whisk together. Set aside for now.
  • Place the potatoes in a pot and fill the pot with water to about an inch higher than the potatoes. Place on the stove over medium heat and bring to a boil. Continue boiling for 15-20 minutes (depending on the size of the potatoes), until tender (but not mushy). When cool enough to handle, chop into ½ to ¾ inch chunks. Place the potatoes in a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, as potatoes are cooking, boil fiddleheads in another pot for 15 minutes.*
  • When the fiddleheads are done, drain them. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté fiddleheads and garlic for 2-3 min. Add the fiddleheads and garlic to the bowl with the potatoes.
  • Add the celery, green onions, parsley, and dill to the bowl with the potatoes. Pour the dressing in and toss well. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • *Fiddleheads should be boiled before sautéing for food safety reasons.
  • *If using asparagus instead of fiddleheads, skip the boiling step and instead sauté the asparagus for 3 minutes, add the garlic, and continue cooking another 2 minutes total.
