Recipe: Italian Potato Salad - Insalata di Patate all'Italiana

Ingredients:
Dressing:

1/4 cup white wine vinegar

1 Tbsp each fresh oregano and chopped basil leaves (or 1/2 tsp each of dried oregano and basil)

1-2 cloves garlic, minced

3/4 cup olive or walnut oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Salad:

6 medium-sized Idaho Potatoes, well scrubbed

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth

1 cup sliced red onion (soaked in cold water)

1/4 cup pitted, oil-cured black or green olives

3/4 lb hot Italian turkey sausage, cooked and sliced thinly

6 cups washed arugula or field greens

In a small mixing bowl, combine dressing ingredients and set aside.

Chop potatoes into 1-inch cubes. In a large pot of boiling water, boil potatoes until tender, about 7-9 minutes. Drain potatoes well. Transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Combine balsamic vinegar and broth in a cup; drizzle over potatoes.

Add fennel, sliced red onion, olives and cooked sausage to the bowl; stir to combine.

Pour dressing over the mixture and stir gently to coat all ingredients with dressing. Serve salad over greens.
