Beet and Potato Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing and Dill
- 2 pounds new potatoes, quartered
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound beets, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 1 cup chopped celery (about 2 stalks)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (just the greens)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (I like Smokey Blue best)
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the coconut oil to coat.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Toss the beets with the remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper and spread out in a single layer on a second baking sheet.
- Add 2 tablespoons water to the beets.
- Transfer the baking sheets to the oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown, stirring halfway through.
- If the beets start to look dry, add a little more water.
- Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing: Add the mayonnaise to a bowl and whisk in the buttermilk and mustard.
- Set aside.
- Transfer the cooked potatoes and beets (and any accumulated beet juices) to a salad bowl.
- Add the celery, green onions, dill, the dressing and some salt and pepper.
- Toss to coat well with dressing.
- Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.
- Just before serving fold in the blue cheese.
