Cold potato salad with asparagus and radishes – a fresh summer salad with seasonal vegetables.
This cold potato salad tastes of summer at its very best. New potatoes, crisp asparagus, fresh peas, radishes and avocado tossed in a simple vinaigrette of lemon, honey and Dijon mustard, with plenty of fresh herbs. A bright, genuinely delicious potato salad that is perfect alongside summer barbecues.
I love the many different textures in this salad. The tender potatoes, the crisp vegetables, the creamy avocado and the fresh vinaigrette together make a salad that feels light and satisfying at once, and full of flavour.
If you can get hold of freshly podded peas while they are in season, I warmly recommend using them. They add a wonderful sweetness and freshness that really lifts the salad.
Serve it as a side with anything from barbecued sausages and chicken to fish or a good piece of meat. And if there are any leftovers, try them on a slice of Danish rye bread (rugbrød) the next day with a little mayonnaise – it is simply wonderful.
A lovely potato salad that captures summer and the best of the season’s produce.
Cold potato salad with asparagus, peas and radishes
Ingredients
- 1 bunch green asparagus
- 600 g small cooked, cooled potatoes, halved
- 150 g peas, ideally freshly podded
- 100 g radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, cut into large chunks
- 2 small shallots, finely sliced
- 1 handful fresh herbs, e.g. parsley, chives and dill
Vinaigrette
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Chive flowers, optional
Method
- Pour boiling water over the green asparagus, then rinse under cold water. Snap off the woody ends and cut the rest into a mix of larger and smaller pieces. A variety of sizes looks good in the salad.
- Mix the ingredients for the vinaigrette and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Put the ingredients for the potato salad in a large bowl – potatoes, asparagus, peas, radishes, avocado, shallots and herbs. Pour over the vinaigrette and toss well to combine.
- Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper and, if you like, scatter chive flowers over the top.

Virkelig dejlig opskrift
Kan den laves dagen før?? Eller bliver den kedelig af at stå i køleskabet et døgns tid?
Hej Anna
Jeg foretrækker den frisklavet – et døgn på køl kan godt gøre grøntsagerne lidt kedelige, synes jeg.
Warm wishes, Dianna
