Smoky grilled potatoes and asparagus tossed with a vibrant almond chimichurri for a flavorful twist on classic potato salad.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds mixed baby new potatoes and/or fingerling potatoes (halved)
- 1 bunch asparagus (trimmed and cut into 3 inch pieces)
- 4 green onions (trimmed and cut into 3 inch pieces)
- 1/3 cup olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 3 tablespoons creamy almond butter
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic (minced or grated)
- 1/2 cup fresh basil (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Boil potatoes for about 8 minutes until tender. Drain and toss with 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Cook eggs in boiling water for exactly 7 minutes until whites are set and yolks are soft. Drain, cool under cold water, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup olive oil, almond butter, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic, basil, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Grill potatoes for 1-2 minutes per side until grill marks appear. Grill asparagus and green onions (tossed with oil, salt, pepper) until lightly marked.
- Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half.
- Arrange the grilled potato salad on a serving plate or bowl. Top with the halved eggs and garnish with chopped almonds and chives (optional). Enjoy!
