A fun twist on potato salad, this Creamy Dill Potato Pea Salad is a delicious side dish that the whole family will love!

Dill Potato Salad with Peas Recipe

Snap peas are a current favorite in our house, with Ella requesting them nearly every day for lunch – so I thought it might be fun to incorporate them into supper side dish… and just to be a total mom, I paired it with one of her least favorite vegetables: potatoes.

Yup, as a direct result of my dad’s potato obsession, my daughter had instituted a blanket ban on the veg. Even french fries were not safe from banishment, that’s how deep this hatred went.

But, she was willing to try them when combined with her favorite veg in this creamy salad (under the premise that if she didn’t like it, she could just eat the snap peas and leave the potatoes on her plate) and to her shock, she loved the potatoes prepared this way and even went back for seconds… and then thirds!

This creamy potato pea salad is a study in contrasts and is lick-the-spoon delicious.

First, we roasted the peas and potatoes – to make the peas even crunchier and the potatoes softer. We seasoned them both with a bit of salt and pepper and a good swig of olive oil.

Next we coated the veggies in a delicious homemade dressing consisting of green onions, dill, dijon mustard and mayo. It had that perfect combination of tart and sweet, bitter and salty. The texture combo of the soft potatoes and crunch snap peas also helps make this salad an utter pleasure.

This would be the perfect side dish for a BBQ and the leftovers are even more delicious – if you manage to have any, that is.
