PREP

  1. Chop potatoes and dill.

  3. Dice red onion or chives.
  4. OPTIONAL: snap the dry ends off asparagus or tear a handful of salad greens.

COOK

  1. Boil potatoes with a dash of salt to desired softness- not too soft or they’ll fall apart later! Drain, toss in marinade and let sit for an hour or so, tossing occasionally.

  3. OPTIONAL: fry bacon in a pan on medium heat.
  4. OPTIONAL: grill asparagus in a grill pan on medium-high heat until hot but still crunchy.
  5. OPTIONAL: roast cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet with a splash of olive oil and dashes of salt and pepper at 350˚ for 20 minutes.

SERVE

  1. Combine cold elements in a salad bowl and toss in the remaining marinade.
  2. Serve with chopped dill and OPTIONAL asparagus, boiled eggs, chopped bacon or cherry tomatoes.
