Ingredients

750 g (1.7 lb) Jersey Royal new potatoes halved (see Tips)
2 tbsp olive oil
0.25 tsp dried mint
salt and freshly ground black pepper
300 g (10.6 oz) asparagus trimmed and halved
125 g (4.4 oz) spring onions halved lengthwise
1 lemon zest and juice
3 tbsp low fat natural yogurt
75 g (¾ cup) trimmed sugar snap peas halved lengthways
14 g (0.5 oz) pack flat leaf parsley chopped
100 g (¾ cup) feta cheese crumbled

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
Toss the potatoes with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and the dried mint on a roasting tin or baking tray, season and cook for 35 minutes.
Mix the asparagus and spring onions with the remaining oil and season. Place onto a second roasting tin or baking tray and put them the oven for the last 12 minutes of the potatoes cooking time.
Meanwhile, mix the lemon zest and juice with the yogurt.
Take the potatoes and vegetables out of the oven and mix together in one of the roasting tins or baking trays, with the sugar snap peas.
Leave to cool for 15 minutes, then combine with the yogurt dressing, parsley and feta cheese.
Season, then serve immediately in the tray or tin, or transfer to a serving bowl.

Notes

If you can't get Jersey Royals, if they're either unavailable in your local shop or supermarket or you're making it out of season, don't worry...other new or baby potatoes work well too.

Dairy-free - make a dressing using olive oil and lemon juice instead of yogurt.

Vegan - use plant-based yogurt or a lemon olive oil vinaigrette to make it vegan-friendly.

Herbs and spices - fresh herbs like chives or basil will also give a refreshing Spring flavour. Adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or cumin will give a unique twist.

This spring potato salad recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.
