Chive Pesto Potato Salad Recipe

A simple summer chive Pesto Potato Salad that is creamy and healthy, no mayo and no yuckies, sprinkled with toasted nuts!

Chive Pesto Potato Salad Recipe

Jump to Recipe

Just fresh onion Chives cut from the garden buzzed up together with extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts or pepitas, a little zing from red wine vinegar. Then I tossed that with golden baby potatoes ( you could use the red ones too) cooked al dente, so they hold up together to the pesto Sauce. 

If your Chives are in bloom, by all means sprinkle some of those gorgeous purple Blossoms all over your salad.

Goes well with Heirloom Tomatoes like this tomato cucumber salad, a dollop of sour cream, or served next to green beans, peas, corn or grilled chicken.
