Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds red-skinned potatoes, cubed
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon chopped chives
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Put the cubed potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Place the pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pan, and continue cooking for about 12 to 15 minutes, or just until tender. Drain thoroughly and let the potatoes cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, steam the frozen vegetables following the package directions; drain. Set aside to cool completely.
  • In a large serving bowl, combine the potatoes, vegetables, bell pepper, onion, dill, and chives.
  • In a small bowl or cup, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, and mustard. Drizzle the dressing mixture over the potato salad and toss gently to combine.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
