Arugula Salad with Goat Cheese, roasted Potatoes and Asparagus

Asparagus season is one of my favorite times of the year because it is a sure sign that warmer days are ahead! Since I always have Creamer potatoes on hand, from The Little Potato Company, I decided to celebrate the season with a fast and easy arugula, asparagus and potato salad that eats more like a hearty side dish.

To cut down the cooking time and get dinner on the table faster, I use these Little Potatoes because they are conveniently pre-washed, and consistent in size, and I always halve my potatoes too. While you can certainly keep them whole, halving them allows you to get as much of the surface caramelized as possible.

Instead of using multiple pans, I simply roast the potatoes side by side with the asparagus in a large baking sheet. A little olive oil, salt and pepper is all you need but feel freer to get creative and add your favorite spices.

Arugula is tossed with lemon juice and olive oil then topped with the creamy roasted Little Potatoes, the caramelized asparagus and the tangy goat cheese.

For added freshness, I love sprinkling the whole platter with fresh herbs like basil but dill or parsley would work well too.
