How to Make Asparagus And Spring Onion Potato Salad

1. Wash and prepare the potatoes: Scrub the potatoes clean and cut them in half or quarters, depending on size. Aim for roughly uniform pieces for even cooking.
2. Steam the potatoes: Place the potatoes in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover and steam for 15-25 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
3. Prepare the dressing: While the potatoes are steaming, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Set aside.
4. Steam the asparagus: Once the potatoes are almost done, add the trimmed asparagus to the steamer basket. Steam for 3-5 minutes, until bright green and tender-crisp.
5. Cool the vegetables: Transfer both the potatoes and asparagus to a colander and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.
6. Season the potatoes: Once cooled, transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Toss gently with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
7. Combine the salad: Add the cooled asparagus and sliced spring onions to the potatoes. Gently toss to combine.
8. Dress the salad: Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the salad and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
9. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
