Directions
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat andsimmer for 10-15 minutes until just fork tender (don’t over-cook). Drain and cut into 1/4’s. Allow to cool on baking sheet.
- While potatoes are cooking, Steam or blanch asparagus for 2-3 minutes only. Drain and cool rapidly incold water – you still want the asparagus to be a bit on the crunchy side. Cut into 1” pieces and set asideto dry.
- While potatoes and asparagus are cooling, in a small bowl whisk together chicken broth, vinegar, mustard, sugar and garlic. Adjust sugar to taste.
- Slowly add olive oil while whisking rapidly, adjust quantity of oil for desired consistency. Additional dressing can be stored in refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- Add chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place potatoes and asparagus in a large bowl. Top with red onion slices and bacon. Drizzle just enough dressing over salad to lightly coat when tossed. Cover and allow to rest for 30 – 60 minutes. Toss again and check seasoning before serving.
