ITALIAN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the diced potatoes in a large stockpot and add enough water so that the potatoes are covered by 1 inch. Cook over medium-high heat until the water reaches a boil. Then reduce heat to medium to maintain the simmer, and continue cooking the potatoes for 5-8 minutes or until the potatoes pierce easily with a fork.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander and let cool for 20-30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl (or shake vigorously in a mason jar) until evenly combined.
• Once the potatoes are ready to go, combine them in a large serving bowl with the dressing, arugula, mozzarella, tomatoes, artichokes, salami (if using), olives, onion and basil. Toss gently until evenly combined.
• Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed, to taste. Serve immediately, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Or cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1-2 hours and then serve the potato salad chilled.
• Refrigerate any leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
