{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Hearty Potato Vinaigrette Salad

 

This is a Penzey's Spice recipe. We have a store here in my area, but they are located numerous places across the country. It's a JOY to go there to shop........I'm like a kid in a candy store. You can also order with them online, and they send out a nice colorful catalog! www.penzeys.com. (no affiliation with them, just a happy customer)

Hearty Potato Vinaigrette Salad
Serves 8
Prep time - 5 minutes
Cooking time - 18 minutes

Fixed this for my hubby and myself last night. It was so good!

10-12 medium potatoes
4-6 eggs
1 head lettuce or equivalent amount of greens
4 Tbs white vinegar
2 Tbs vegetable oil
1 Tbs sugar
4 Tbs real Wisconsin butter or olive oil (I used olive oil)
4 tsp NORTHWOODS SEASONING **see below

Traditionally done with peeled potatoes, skins can be left on if well scrubbed. Cut potatoes into approximately 3/4 inch pieces and cook in boiling water until cooked through, about 10 minutes. at the same time hard-boil the eggs. An easy method is to place eggs in a pan of cool water on medium high heat. When water comes to a boil, cover, remove from heat and let stand 18-20 minutes, rinse and peel.

Clean and tear lettuce or greens into bite-size pieces. Mix vinegar, oil and sugar, and toss with the lettuce. Divide the lettuce among 4 serving plates.Mix vinegar, oil and sugar, and toss with the lettuce. Divide the lettuce among 4 serving plates. Drain potatoes and lightly break potato cubes with a form, but don't mash completely, then place equal amounts on the lettuce beds. Add 1 Tbs fresh butter, in small pats, to each serving - you can substitute olive oil if you feel you must(my husband cannot eat butter, so the olive oil works well for us).

Slice eggs and arrange attractively across the top of the potatoes. Sprinkle 1 tsp NORTHWOODS SEASONING across the top of each serving, and serve while warm. Feeds four at a very reasonable cost.
