I shared this recipe earlier int he summer on the Midtown Global Market website, but it is a perfect summer salad for celebrating at home or taking to a potluck (as I will be doing on Monday) and worth sharing again. Enjoy Labor Day!
Potato + Chick Pea Salad
serves 8
3# organic red or yukon gold potatoes (purple works, too!),diced
1 can organic garbanzo beans, drained + rinsed
1 C flat leaf parsley, leaves whole, stems removed
1/4c fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4c coarse grain mustard
1/4c mayonnaise
salt + pepper to taste
-place potatoes in large pot with enough salted water to cover
-boil until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes -drain potatoes and rinse with cool water, allow to cool*
-in a large bowl, whisk together the mustard, mayo + lemon juice
-season with salt + pepper to taste
-add garbanzo beans + parsley, toss to coat
-add potatoes and gently fold into dressing

*you can cook potatoes the day before making the salad and refrigerate to make sure they hold their shape
