Pesto Potato Salad
We love potatoes in all their glorious forms and preparations: baked, fried, roasted, in soups or in a salad. The tasty possibilities are endless. The russets used in this recipe are baked in cubes and bathed in our Toasted Pine Nut Arugula Pesto while they’re warm, then they’re tossed with a few other simple ingredients. This is a delicious warm potato salad, filled with layers of texture and unique flavors. It’s perfect for a quick addition to lunch—or you can double the recipe and serve it as a healthy side dish with dinner.
