  • 3 Tbs. California Olive Ranch extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/8 tsp. sea salt

  • 3 Tbs. California Olive Ranch extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 lb. fingerling potatoes – unpeeled, left whole and boiled until tender
For the salad

  • 1/2 small bunch fresh chives – cut in 1/2” slices (2 Tbs.)

Instructions

  1. To make the vinaigrette – Place the garlic, mustard, lemon juice, California Olive Ranch extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until well blended. Set aside.
  2. To grill the potatoes – Preheat a grill or griddle on high. Place the garlic, California Olive Ranch extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl and whisk until well blended. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and add them to the garlic/oil mixture. Toss carefully until the potatoes are well coated. Grill the potatoes on each side until charred. Place the grilled potatoes back in the bowl with the garlic/oil mixture and toss again. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Set aside.
  3. Place the lettuce and radish slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with two thirds of the vinaigrette and toss until well coated. Transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with the grilled potatoes. Drizzle with the balance of the vinaigrette. Sprinkle with the chives and finish with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve while the potatoes are still warm.
