Time 1h

Yield SERVES: 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds small Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes
Kosher salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
Freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup pitted nicoise olives
2 stalks celery, diced, plus 1/4 cup roughly chopped celery leaves
2 pounds beefsteak tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil, torn
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Steps:

Place the potatoes in a large pot; cover with water by 2 inches. Season generously with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes; let cool 15 to 20 minutes.
Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; stir in the olives and diced celery. Halve the potatoes and transfer to a shallow bowl. Scatter the tomatoes over the potatoes, then drizzle with the vinaigrette. Scatter the celery leaves, basil and chives over the salad and season with salt and pepper.
