Potato & Chickpea Salad

(Makes 4 individual salads)
  • 4 cups potatoes, diced. They can be peeled or not, depending on your preference. A waxier type of potatoes such as red or gold is preferable but any kind will work.
  • 1 15-oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 3 stalks celery, diced small
  • 1 small red onion, sliced into thin slices and then diced small
  • 4 Tb fresh chives, chopped fine
  • 1 cup sliced black olives
  • Chive flowers, also chopped fine

Dressing:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 4 Tb fresh dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 Tb Dijon mustard

In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients together and set aside.

In a medium pot, cover the potatoes with water, bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook about 15 minutes until just tender. Drain and allow to cool completely.

Once the potatoes have cooled, in a large bowl, toss all of the ingredients together with the dressing and serve.
