Low Fat Potato Salad with asparagus
(originally made 2/2011)
Needed to use up some red potatoes and the guys wanted theirs smothered with cheese and bacon. Since I've been eating healthier, I looked for an option that I could vary. I'm not fond of boiled asparagus, so I decided to roast it with a little extra virgin olive oil. I microbaked the potatoes, quarted them and added them to a cookie sheet with the asparagus. Roasted for 16 mins at 400 degrees. Tossed with the vinaigrette and served. Very light, and absolutely delicious. Thanks to Rosie for yet another great recipe!

Low Fat Potato Salad with Asparagus
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound baby red potatoes
1 cup asparagus tips (I had nice thin asparagus, used tips and stalks)
1/2 red onion -- sliced
1/4 cup fat free -- reduced sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove -- crushed
Fresh ground black pepper to taste
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil then simmer for 10-12 minutes. Add asparagus tips and simmer for two to three minutes more, until asparagus is bright green and potatoes are tender.
Drain vegetables and allow to cool for a few minutes. Cut potatoes into quarters.
While potatoes and asparagus are cooling, whisk chicken broth, vinegar, mustard, oil and garlic together in a small bowl. Place vegetables in a large bowl. Top with red onion slices. Drizzle dressing over salad. Gently toss to coat. Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.
Serves 4-6

Rosie's NOTES : Use green beans instead of asparagus if you prefer.
