Summer is a time for cookouts and other outdoor events. Chances are you’ll be invited to a party or family reunion, and you might be asked to bring a dish to pass. While there are many old reliable recipes you can certainly choose from; if you’d like to change things up this year, why not give this tasty recipe from Ree Drummond a try? This new take on potato salad includes a surprise ingredient – avocado! This Green Goddess Potato Salad is colorful, flavorful, and just might be the hit of the barbecue!
Ingredients
12 small red potatoes, quartered with skins on
3 stalks of chopped celery (reserve ½ cup of celery leaves)
½ cup mayo
½ cup fresh parsley
¼ cup buttermilk
¼ cup fresh chopped chives
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. chopped tarragon
2 anchovy fillets
2 medium shallots, chopped
1 small ripe avocado
Black pepper (to taste)
Directions
- Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water by one inch. Add salt to taste. Bring to boil and cook until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon and place them in a large bowl. Add snap peas to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about one minute. Drain, then slice thinly at an angle. Add to the bowl with the potatoes. Add chopped celery.
- To make the dressing, combine mayo, parsley, buttermilk, chives, lemon juice, tarragon, anchovies, shallots, avocado, celery leaves, and 1 tsp. of salt in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Allow potatoes to cool slightly. Pour the dressing over the vegetables, and season with ½ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper and toss well. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, until chilled. After chilled, toss again and top with more parsley and chives before serving.
