Ingredients
- 1 lb baby new potatoes, leave them whole if they're small enough, if not, halve or quarter them
- 6 oz fresh garden peas, a heaping cup
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Handful of fresh dill
- handful of fresh chives
- salt and fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Whisk the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and add the fresh peas. Let cook for about a minute or two, then drain and cool the peas immediately in a bowl of ice water. Drain and set aside.
- Cover the potatoes with water in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are just tender, when you can pierce them easily with the tip of a sharp knife. Drain and add the hot potatoes to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat the potatoes.
- Add the herbs, cooled peas, and salt and pepper to taste. Don't skimp on the herbs or the salt and pepper. Toss well.
- Cover and refrigerate until very cold. Check the seasonings and toss again lightly just before serving.

Notes
- I think a couple of eggs, cooked just until their yolks start to harden, then roughly chopped, would be a good addition for the next time I make it.
