Total Time40 mins
Servings: 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1 24oz mini round potatoes I use yellow
  • ⅓ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • ⅓ cup homemade pesto (I will link the recipe in recipe notes)
  • 3 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tsp each salt and pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 cup arugula

Instructions

  • In a saucepan boil potatoes until tender and strain.
  • Make pesto and set it aside. I will link homemade pesto in the recipe notes below. You could also use premade, but it's not quite as good.
  • Cut the potatoes into bite-size pieces.
  • After they are cut and while they are still warm evenly add vinegar, olive oil, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper and stir.
  • Mix in the pesto.
  • If you are serving right away add in the arugula. If you are making this ahead of time wait and mix in the arugula before serving.
  • Chill in the refigerator. Add an extra drizzle of olive oil and a little salt and pepper before serving!
