By using assorted root vegetables, and by roasting instead of boiling, the unique tastes and textures of this dish make for a great twist on a traditional potato salad. The creaminess of the balsamic mayo and the crunch of the chives make this one memorable recipe.
Make sure to use a great quality extra virgin olive oil. We love Colavita!
