Test Kitchen Tip

Shelled fresh peas are delicious, but sometimes hard to come across. Frozen peas, thawed, make a great substitute.

Instructions

Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water; bring to a boil and cook until almost tender, about 20 minutes. Drop in peas and cook until tender, 35 minutes; drain well. Transfer warm potatoes and peas to a large bowl and gently crush the potatoes (they should remain almost whole).

Meanwhile, toast mustard seeds in a small, dry skillet, until they just begin to pop, about 1 minute; transfer to a bowl.

Whisk in yogurt, Dijon, shallots, salt, and pepper. Add dressing and olive oil to bowl with potatoes and peas; toss to combine.

Stir in mint or chives; taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Serve salad warm.
