Potatoes Vinaigrette

WHY THEY’RE LIGHT Waxy new potatoes, tossed in a flavorful mustard vinaigrette, easily outdo heavy, mayonnaise-based potato salads, while low-fat yogurt and dill dress up sliced cucumbers. Pack either low-calorie side for a picnic.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds new potatoes, scrubbed
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 celery stalk, thinly sliced crosswise, plus 1/2 cup celery leaves

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, and add salt. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until just tender, 12 to 14 minutes. Drain; set aside to cool slightly.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine vinegar and both mustards; season with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    When potatoes are cool enough to handle, quarter and toss with mustard-vinegar mixture. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours or up to overnight. Add oil and celery stalk leaves to potatoes; toss and serve.
