Warm Potato Salad with Feta

The original recipe uses goat cheese, which is so delicious and tart - but a little more expensive and harder to find than feta. Both are great. Use whatever you prefer. 

Warm Potato Salad with Feta

2 lbs new potatoes, 1/2 inch dice (approx. 5-6 c)

1 red pepper, diced*

1 c feta cheese

1 c white beans (if using canned, rinse well)

1/2 T minced garlic

2 T white wine vinegar

2 T lemon juice

1 T dried parsley

1 1/2 tsp grainy mustard

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 c plus 2 T olive oil

3/4 c (or whatever you prefer) toasted walnuts (opt.)

Steam diced potatoes in about 2 inches of water for 15 min, or until done, but still firm and not mushy, in the meantime, dice the pepper and garlic. In a jar, combine garlic, vinegar, lemon juice, parsley, mustard, pepper and oil. Shake or whisk well. When potatoes are done, add feta and pepper, stir well, add dressing and top with optional toasted walnuts. Serve warm.

*I've made this with steamed broccoli and think it would be great with steamed green beans or asparagus as well, use whatever veggie you have on hand.
