What Ingredients are in Potato Asparagus Salad?

• Baby Creamer Potatoes: Creamy texture and a mild, buttery flavor; use gold or red potatoes as long as they are the smaller potatoes.
• Fresh Asparagus Spears: Adds a delightful crunch and bright green color.
• Peas: gives a touch of sweetness and great color.
• Fresh Mint Leaves: adds a refreshing note to finish the dish.
• Apple Cider Vinegar: Adds a tangy kick to the dressing.
• Whole Grain Mustard: gives the mustard vinaigrette a rustic, grainy texture.
• Fresh Lemon Thyme Leaves: fresh herbs give a citrusy and herby note without overpowering like lemon juice can do.
• Grapeseed Oil: this has much less flavor than olive oil which gives you a neutral base for the dressing.
• Salt: Brings out the flavor of all the other ingredients
• Black Pepper: adds a bit of spice to balance the dressing ingredients.

Pro Tip: If you cannot find whole grain mustard, Dijon mustard can work but it will add a different flavor to this simple potato salad asparagus.
