Picnic Potato SaladIngredients:

  • 1 large red onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • salt and ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 pounds boiling potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 large garlic cloves, pounded
  • 3 tablespoons capers, rinsed
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 4 celery ribs, diced
  • 3 tablespoons chopped marjoram (I couldn’t find fresh marjoram, so I used chives)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped thyme

Directions:

  1. Put the diced onion in a strainer. Bring a kettle of water to a boil and pour it slowly over the onion.
  2. Shake the onion dry, and put it in a large salad bowl. Add the vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, several
    grinds of peper, the oil and set aside.
  3. Cook the potatoes, then peel and slice them. While still warm, add them to the onion along with
    the mustard, garlic, and capers. Toss gently with a soft rubber spatula.
  4. Add the bell pepper, celery, and herbs and toss once more. Taste for salt and grind in plenty of
    pepper.

Serves an army.
