Potato & Edamame Salad



We're always looking to incorporate more veggies into our meals so here's a simple roasted potato salad with edamame, tomatoes, feta, chives and a grainy mustard vinaigrette.

Ingredients:
  • ~1lb bag of mixed baby potatoes (I bought a bag with purple, red & white fingerling)
  • ~1/2 16oz bag of frozen edamame
  • 1 pint mixed colorful plum & cherry tomatoes, I used red & yellow
  • 1 bunch of fresh chives 
  • ~1/2 cup of crumbled feta
For the vinaigrette:
  • juice of 1 lemon, ~1/4 cup
  • 1T grainy Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • ~1/2 cup olive oil
  • salt & pepper

Preparation:

This recipe is really just a loose guideline.  Add anything you like to this salad of sorts (red pepper, garbanzo beans, crumbled bacon, etc - it could all be good).  I halved and roasted the potatoes in the oven at 400 until tender with slightly crispy skins (~15 mins, with olive oil and salt & pepper), prepared the frozen edamame per directions on the package, and tossed in the cut up veggies.  I whisked together the vinaigrette ingredients and tossed the salad all together.
