Creamy Potato Salad with Fresh Herbs and Grainy Dijon Mustard
I don’t know about you but I am so over this winter. I decided I was going to rebel against it so I bought tons of fresh herbs and lemon to make a summer inspired dinner. I made this potato salad, served it with my Lemon-Garlic Marinated Grilled Chicken and steamed asparagus. This potato is so creamy and rich, the grainy Dijon adds a sweetness and depth of flavour that is incredible. It made me feel better!

Notes
- Let the potatoes cool completely before cutting them; it helps keep them from becoming smushy.
- You can use white wine vinegar in place of the lemon juice, about 2 tbsp.
- The dressing becomes thicker as it sits on the potatoes.
