Notes

  • After roasting the potatoes, it's essential to let them cool completely before incorporating them into the salad. This precaution is particularly important when combining them with fresh lettuce, as you wouldn't want to introduce hot cubed potatoes to crisp, delicate lettuce.
  • Mix dressing in jar or small bowl, to do it in a jar add all ingredients, close tightly with the top and shake it. If you want to use a small bowl, add dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey and salt to the bowl, you can use a spoon to mix all ingredients together until well combined.
  • Additionally, if you opt not to make the dressing from scratch, you have the convenience of using store-bought varieties like Italian, Balsamic, Honey Mustard, etc. This provides a time-saving alternative without compromising flavor.
