Hello lovelies, I don’t know about you, but with the warm temperatures I feel like salads in all versions, for example this light potato asparagus salad. This salad contains all of my favorite seasonal ingredients: asparagus, new potatoes, rocket salad from the garden and tomatoes (okay, it’s a bit early for them). Potato salad doesn’t always have to be difficult, it tastes totally delicious with fresh, healthy ingredients and isn’t heavy on the stomach.
Green asparagus and potatoes also team up in my crisp asparagus tart with puff pastry – perfect for brunch or apéro.
I have combined the potato asparagus saladwith a light vinaigrette, which is best served when everything is still warm. And then you can serve the salad lukewarm, which tastes really delicious. Actually I'm a big fan of green asparagus, but the white asparagus tastes better in combination with potatoes. It probably reminds me of my childhood, when asparagus with potatoes and a light sauce Hollandaise was one of our favorite meals.
Recipe
- If asparagus is not available anymore you can add carrots, Avocado or fennel to the salad
The salad is a great side dish for everything from the grill. We had baked cauliflower in a cornflakes batter with it. I'll share the recipe with you soon. But even as a main course it makes you feel full, because the potatoes provide you with energizing carbs. And if you don’t have or don’t like rocket salad, you can of course replace it with another green salad.
The salad can also be prepared in advance, filled in a glass and taken to the office/ school/university. Just add the vinaigrette right before eating it and you'll have a delicious lunch.
What are your favorite summer salads? I also really like everything with melon, so I'll share a recipe with you soon!
If you are still in the mood for asparagus, I can highly recommend my green asparagus with tomatoes and vegan feta or this creamy spring pasta with asparagus and tofu – both celebrate the season just like this salad. And for another hearty potato variation, take a look at my salad with sesame potatoes, tomatoes and chickpeas.
