My new go-to spring side dish: roasted potato salad. It combines crispy potatoes, greens, caramelized spring onions, fresh asparagus, shaved radishes, goat cheese, and fresh herbs with a really vibrant, tangy pistachio orange vinaigrette.

Buttery, flaky, slightly creamy, and very seasonal…exactly how I would describe this asparagus tart! I’m using store-bought puff pastry to keep this nice and easy. The tart is filled with a layer of creamy mascarpone cheese and fresh asparagus. Baked until golden and drizzled with a sweet honey mustard sauce. This is the perfect spring appetizer.
