Potato, Snap Pea, and Pea-Tendril Salad image

The peas and dressed potatoes can be cooked two days ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve. Bring them to room temperature, then toss them with the pea tendrils, mint, bacon, and dressing just before serving. The seasoned rice vinegar tossed with minced shallot is Lost Kitchen chef/owner Erin French's signature flavor; she loves it in salads of all kinds.

Time 1h25m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 strips thick-cut bacon
1 medium shallot, minced (1/4 cup)
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint leaves, plus tiny leaves for serving
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed and strings removed
1 1/2 pounds new potatoes, preferably tiny, halved if large
3 cups pea tendrils and flowers, or baby spinach leaves
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, for serving

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high until crisp, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain on paper towels; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • In a bowl, combine shallot and vinegar; let stand 15 minutes. Whisk in oil and 2 tablespoons mint; season with coarse salt and pepper.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon coarse salt and snap peas. Return to a boil, then cook just until tender, about 45 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a colander and run under cold water; drain well and slice crosswise on the bias.
  • Add potatoes to boiling water; return to a boil, then reduce heat and vigorously simmer until tender, 12 to 14 minutes. Drain; toss potatoes with 3 tablespoons dressing. Spread on a baking sheet and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • In a bowl, toss together potatoes, peas, pea tendrils and flowers, remaining 4 tablespoons mint, and bacon, then toss with about 1/4 cup dressing. Serve, garnished with tiny mint leaves and sprinkled with flaky salt.

This salad was a bit disappointing. The potatoes were undercooked and the dressing was too bland. I might try it again with a different recipe.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. It's also a great make-ahead dish, which is perfect for busy weeknights. I usually make it on Sunday and then eat it for lunch or dinner throughout the week.

I love this salad! It's so fresh and flavorful. The snap peas and pea tendrils add a nice crunch and the dressing is perfectly tangy. I've made it several times and it's always a hit.

Meh. This salad was just okay. The potatoes were a bit overcooked and the dressing was too sweet for my taste. I wouldn't make it again.

Not bad! I thought the salad was a bit too simple for my taste, but it was still tasty. I might add some extra herbs or spices next time to give it more flavor.

I thought this salad was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste and the dressing was too oily. I might try it again with a different dressing.

Easy to make and bursting with flavor. I've made this salad twice now and it's been a crowd-pleaser both times. The snap peas and pea tendrils add a nice crunch and freshness, while the potatoes and dressing provide a hearty and flavorful base.

This potato salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of sweet peas, tender pea tendrils, and crisp potatoes was a delightful contrast. I also appreciated the light, tangy dressing that didn't overpower the other ingredients.
