Here’s a salad for a potluck barbecue. If making ahead, chill until serving, but remove from refrigerator 20 minutes before to serve at room temperature for best flavour.
Ingredients
1-1/2 lb (750 g) small Ontario white potatoes, scrubbed
1 each Ontario sweet red and orange pepper
2 cobs Ontario sweet corn, cooked
3 Ontario Green onions, sliced
8 oz (250 g) Ontario smoked sausage, such as kielbasa, diced (about 2 cups)
2 tbsp (25 mL) chopped fresh Ontario parsley
Dressing:
- 1/3 cup (75 mL) olive oil
- 2 tbsp (25 mL) red wine vinegar
- 1 clove Ontario garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
Instructions
In large saucepan, cover potatoes with cold salted water; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, rinse and let cool enough to handle; cut in half or quarters, depending on size of potatoes.
Meanwhile, cut red and orange peppers into quarters, removing stems and seeds. Place on preheated barbecue grill over medium heat; grill until softened and slightly charred, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool enough to handle; chop. Cut kernels from corn and place in large bowl. Add potatoes, peppers, green onions and sausage.
Dressing: In small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper; add to potato mixture and gently toss. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve warm.
