Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon very finely chopped scallion, green parts only
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds (910 g) baking potatoes, peeled, cut into large bite-sized cubes
  • 5 crisp-cooked pieces of bacon, crumbled; use gluten-free if following a gluten-free diet
  • 2 ounces (55 g) crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 tablespoons snipped chives

Preparation:

  1. Make the Dressing: Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, chopped scallion, mustard and maple syrup. Season well with salt and pepper; set aside.
  2. Cook the Potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cool water. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat, adjust heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well and add back to pot (no need to dirty another bowl!). Drizzle over the dressing while potatoes are still warm and toss to coat well; the potatoes will absorb the dressing well with this technique.
  3. The salad is ready to serve. The salad can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but bring to room temperature before serving. Right before serving fold in the crumbled bacon, chives and blue cheese, if using.

Notes:

Tips

  • The dressing can be made the day ahead and stored at room temp. It is also easy to double and fantastic with green salads as well, especially kale salads where the sweetness of the maple syrup complements the slightly bitter green.
