Asparagus, New Potato And Radish Salad With Tracklements Strong Horseradish Cream

The potato salad gets a makeover for the Summer with the addition of vitamin-rich asparagus, pepper-hot radishes and crunchy sugar snap peas dressed in a tangy, horseradish creamy (crème fraiche!) vinaigrette.  So simple, yet so impressive.

Ingredients:

500g new potatoes

olive oil

salt and pepper

125g asparagus spears

handful of sugar snap peas, halved lengthways

handful chopped radishes

handful of pea shoots (if available)

small bunch of dill roughly chopped

Dressing:

130g crème fraîche

3-4 tbsp Tracklements Strong Horseradish Cream

2 tbsp olive oil, plus a little extra

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp cider vinegar

§  Boil the potatoes in plenty of salted boiling water for 20 mins or until tender

§  Cut the potatoes in half lengthways and toss in a little olive oil and season
