This was really good... I did have to use Russet potatoes, and I accidentally steamed them way too long cause I got distracted, so this was soft and squishy creamy pea & potato salad! Still very tasty and I'll definitely make this again when we're grillin'. The Dijon gives just the right amount of zing to this dish, and the peas keep it mellowed out and fresh tasting. I did use from scratch mayo, and I had to sub onion powder for red, since I had no fresh in the house. I'll try it again with the fresh onion. Thanks for sharing.

Yummy salad. The addition of the peas is very nice, I love the little pop when you bite them. I didn't have any tarragon so used a bit of marjoram successfully. Easy to make and to enjoy. Made for PAC, fall '09.
