How To Make This Recipe


Step one. Cut potatoes into fourths. Boil in a large pot. Generously salt the water. Boil the potatoes for about 11 - 15 minutes or until they are al dente (you don't want them over cooked).
Step two. Thaw cooked frozen peas, they do not need to hot or boiled. Just let them thaw out before tossing. Chop dill, onion, garlic and asparagus, see recipe card below for more specifics.
Step three. In a medium sized bowl, add garlic, onions, vinegar, oil, honey, dijon, salt and pepper. Let it sit together while potatoes are cooking. This helps to cut the onions down a little.
Once potatoes are al dente, drain and rinse with cold water. Let them rest for a few minutes. Add them to a large bowl and toss in dressing, peas, dill and asparagus.

Recipe FAQ's
Yes, red wine vinegar or apple cider will also work.
No, the dressing helps to soften it and there is no bitter taste. Just be sure to chop off the bitter ends of the asparagus. I never each the last inch or two of an asparagus because it tastes bitter.
In a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days! I wouldn’t freeze this recipe.
