Ingredients

Method

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. On prepared pan, toss together potatoes, oil and 1/4 tsp of the salt to coat; arrange, cut side down, in single layer. Roast until golden and tender, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.

Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook asparagus and snap peas until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Drain; chill in bowl of ice water. Drain and pat dry.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, whisk together sour cream, buttermilk, lemon juice, mustard, pepper and remaining 1/2 tsp salt.

In large bowl, combine potatoes, asparagus mixture, spinach, kale, radishes and dill. Drizzle with 1/3 cup of the dressing; toss to coat. Reserve remaining dressing for another use.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
