Fingerling potatoes are long, finger-shaped new potatoes, but other potatoes are just as suitable. Though lots of different vegetables go into this salad, they can all be prepared a day ahead for maximum ease.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fingerling potatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1-1/4 tsp salt
- 1-1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh basil
- 1 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh chervil
- 1 tsp finely grated lemon rind
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch very small carrots, (about 6 oz/175 g)
- 8 oz baby pattypan squash
- 4 oz snow peas
- 4 oz sugar snap peas
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup pea sprouts
Preparation
In small roasting pan, toss together potatoes, butter, thyme and 1 tsp (5 mL) each of the salt and pepper. Cover and roast in 400°F (200°C) oven, stirring occasionally, until tender and light golden, about 40 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let cool. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.)
Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine oil, parsley, basil, chervil, lemon rind and green onions; set aside. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 4 hours.)
Peel carrots. In saucepan of boiling salted water, cook carrots until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer to colander; drain. Add squash and snow and sugar snap peas to pan; cook until tender-crisp, about 1 minute. Drain. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 4 hours.)
Add carrots, snow and sugar snap peas, squash, potato mixture, lemon juice, and remaining salt and pepper to herb mixture; toss gently to coat. Arrange on serving platter. Garnish with pea sprouts.
