Instructions
- Place the sun-dried tomatoes (see notes) into a small bowl, cover with boiling water. Steep for 10 minutes.
- Cook the baby potatoes until just tender, drain and rinse with cold water until the potatoes are no longer hot, place on a cookie sheet to continue to cool, set aside to use in Step 5. See notes on the size of the baby potatoes.
- Drain the liquid from the steeped sun-dried tomatoes, shake well to remove any excess water, then place the steeped sun-dried tomatoes onto a chopping board and finely mince them with a sharp knife into an almost paste-like consistency.
- Place all the Dressing Ingredients into a small bowl, whisk until smooth and emulsified. Add the minced sun-dried tomatoes to the dressing, mix well to combine. Set aside.
- Place all the Salad Ingredients (including the cooked and cooled baby potatoes) and finely chopped fresh basil into a large bowl, gently mix to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Pour the dressing over the mixture, gently toss. Taste test for flavor. Add more seasoning, if needed. Best if served immediately. Refrigerate leftovers.
