Large beautiful displays of fresh juicy green local asparagus are a sight to which I've become happily accustomed, but my latest trip to the local market left me with a heavy heart as I realized that this wonderful season must soon be coming to an end. Racing off with two bunches — not quite the last I hope? — I set off to make at least one more asparagus creation while I have time.
Always pairing best with simple flavors, I steamed a bunch of asparagus with fresh baby potatoes and tossed the vegetables with a simple but lively balsamic and Dijon mustard dressing. Served right away to enjoy the warmth and tenderness of the potatoes and asparagus, this was an elegant salad that I think you will find inviting at any time of year, even if the produce isn't local. Enjoy!

That sounds excellent! Thanks for the recipe--too bad I'll have to wait for next year to use it, since asparagus has already gone out of season where I live. (Well...I could use grocery store asparagus, I guess.)
Love both baby potao and asparagus so this is a real winner for me.
I was just showing my husband your picture of the asparagus and potatoes, not that I mind but big mistake, I have to run to the market now. Guess what we are having with dinner tonight? Look forward to trying your recipe.
This salad has everything I love! Asparagus, baby potatoes, Dijon, balsamic. Yum!
thank you
I just stumbled across your blog. I love it! It's especially cool that you're from London, since I'm from Windsor!
This is one of my favourite salads and I dress it the same too. I also like to add egg to my salad. Mmmmmmm :P
