    Source of Recipe

    "A Good Day for a Salad" by Jeannette Ferrary & ,Louise Fiszer

    Recipe Introduction

    "A scattering of peas brings a touch of green and a lively burst of sweetness to this picnic favorite enlivened with fresh herbs and the savory crunch of bacon."

    List of Ingredients

    For the dressing:

    1/4 cup minced shallots

    2 tablespoons snipped fresh dill

    1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon

    3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

    2 cloves garlic, minced

    3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

    5 tablespoons white wine vinegar

    3/4 cup olive oil

    Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

    For the salad:

    3 pounds small red potatoes

    4 cups fresh or frozen peas

    8 ounces sliced bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled


    Recipe

    In a small bowl, whisk all dressing ingredients together until well blended. Set aside. Cook potatoes in boiling salted water for about 12 minutes. Drain, let cool to touch, and cut into quarters. Cook fresh peas in salted boiling water for 6 minutes, frozen peas for 3 minutes. Drain under cold water and let cool.

    In a large bowl, toss still-warm potatoes with about half of dressing and let cool. Combine with peas and bacon and add remaining dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning.
