Steps

  • In large saucepan bring 1 quart of water to a boil. Cut potatoes in half and carefully place in boiling water. Boil potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain water from pan and allow potatoes to cool.

  • Cut potatoes into cubes and place in a medium salad bowl.

  • Add peas and cheese cubes to potatoes.

  • In a small bowl mix vinegar, mustard, shallots, dill, celery seed and salt and pepper.

  • Slowly pour the oil in while beating vinegar mixture with a wire whisk. Whisk until dressing has emulsified. Pour the dressing over the potato pea mixture just until all ingredients are lightly coated.

  • Let salad chill 1-2 hours before serving.
