Roasted Potato and Asparagus Salad with Chili Vinaigrette and Cilantro

This was SO fantastic. I was a bit apprehensive about making this as a stand alone supper but it turned out great and filling for the four of us.

Roasted Potato and Asparagus Salad with Chili Vinaigrette and Cilantro

• 5-6 cups Potatoes, 1/2 in cubes
• 1 bunch Asparagus (or omit if desired)
• 1 cup Celery, diced
• 1 cup Pepper (red, orange, yellow…), diced
• 1 cup Walnuts, chopped and toasted
• .25 cup Red Onion, diced
• 3 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
• 5 Hard Boiled Eggs, sliced
• 2 Strips Bacon, cooked and chopped (optional, I only put it in because it was left over from a previous meal)

1. Preheat oven to 400′
2. Toss potato and asparagus in olive oil and a little bit of course salt. Roast until tender and golden, about 35-40 min.
3. Combine the rest of the cool ingredients in a bowl.
4. When potatoes and asparagus are cool add to salad. (If you haven’t planned ahead, you can always put hot potatoes and asparagus in a bowl on top of another bowl filled with ice water to help cool it down quicker)
5. Toss salad with dressing and serve!
