Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds potatoes

  • 1 large leek

  • 3 chives

  • 2 TBS olive oil

  • 2 TBS dijon mustard

  • 1 TBS honey

  • 1 TBS red wine vinegar

  • Salt and Pepper

  • Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

  • Place potatoes into pot of water over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, boil potatoes for 15 minutes.
  • While potatoes are cooking, slice your leeks into rounds, and then cut in half. Rinse well in water to make you remove any sand/dirt. Let drain.
  • Add leeks to a pan with a lid with some non-stick cooking spray. Over medium-low heat, let the leeks sweat down, giving them an occasional toss.
  • Then in the serving bowl, add the olive oil, honey, mustard, and red wine vinegar. Whisk the ingredients.
  • By this point, your potatoes should be done cooking. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and toss immediately into the dressing. Add salt and pepper.
  • Then add the leeks into the bowl.
  • Using kitchen scissors, cut the chives into bite-sized pieces and toss into the bowl.
  • Mix well. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Pro tip – immediately after measuring out the olive oil, measure out your honey. The honey will remove from the spoon due to the layer of oil left in the measuring spoon.
