spring salad

i made smitten kitchen's spring salad with new potatoes a year or so ago, and then (re-)fell in love with it this weekend.  i was in the grocery store and there was some gorgeous asparagus and then this salad popped back into my head.  thank you, internet, for (re-)finding the recipe for me while i stood in the produce section, assuring that i bought all the ingredients i needed.  and, caveat, i hate radishes, so i clearly omitted those.  this salad is fantastic because (a) potatoes are just one ingredient, not the whole story, and (b) the dressing isn't mayonnaise-based (i really like mayonnaise, but the fact that the dressing here is a vinaigrette makes it so much lighter).  i made it on saturday...and then again tonight.  but i made a half recipe each time…which is how i am justifying it.

you should make this salad, and then perhaps bring it for lunch alongside hummus and pita like i did.
