grilled pesto potato salad

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs medium-size red potatoes
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 1/3 cup white or golden balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil finely minced
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts optional

Instructions

  • Place potatoes in a large microwave-safe bowl; cover with lid or plastic wrap.
  • Note: If using plastic wrap, make sure plastic wrap is not touching any ingredients and poke one small hole in cover to vent.
  • Microwave on high for 10 to 12 minutes or until potatoes are tender (cooking time may vary depending on microwave).
  • Use oven mitts to carefully remove from microwave.
  • When cool enough to handle, cut potatoes in half or quarters and spray liberally with olive oil spray.
  • Grill over high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until grill lines are apparent.
  • Remove from grill and let cool.
  • Cut into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together vinegar, oil, salt and garlic; pour over potatoes and toss lightly to coat.
  • Season with pepper, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Just before serving, toss with Parmesan cheese and basil, then sprinkle with pine nuts.
