PEASANT POTATO SALAD
This is a very yummy and a much healthier alternative to traditional potato salad. Not only is it lower in calories, it is safe to stay outside during a cookout without the worry of the mayo getting spoiled. My husband, who is a very picky eater, devours this every time I make it. This recipe is a slightly adapted version from Top Chef's Carla Hall. She adds 1/4 cup slivered kalamata olives to hers, but I leave it out just because I don't like olives. I always use gourmet fingerling potatoes which come in all different colors (red, purple, yellow...). It makes for a beautiful and colorful salad.

- To prepare the vinaigrette:In a blender or food processor, add shallots, garlic, Dijon and vinegar. Process until smooth. Slowly pour in oil while blender is running to create an emulsion. Season with salt and pepper.
