Palimpsest's Review

Excellent, flavorful recipe that works particularly well as a summer, lunch salad, where the salad is the main dish. The potatoes (which surprised me) really make the salad, providing a rich, almost meat-like undertone to the vinaigrette. The potatoes are also filling, so if you plan to serve this as a side dish, keep the portions small. I've made this recipe several times for family and company, and have received rave reviews. Highly recommend.
