Low Fat Potato Salad with Asparagus
From Fiona Haynes,

Awaken your tastebuds with this great alternative to ordinary potato salad. A low fat vinaigrette dressing is drizzled over tender baby red potatoes, crisp asparagus tips and slices of red onion. Use green beans instead of asparagus if you prefer.

INGREDIENTS:
1 pound baby red potatoes
1 cup asparagus tips
1/2 red onion, sliced
1/4 cup fat free, reduced sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
Fresh ground black pepper to taste

PREPARATION:
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil then simmer for 10-12 minutes. Add asparagus tips and simmer for two to three minutes more, until asparagus is bright green and potatoes are tender.
Drain vegetables and allow to cool for a few minutes. Cut potatoes into quarters.
While potatoes and asparagus are cooling, whisk chicken broth, vinegar, mustard, oil and garlic together in a small bowl. Place vegetables in a large bowl. Top with red onion slices. Drizzle dressing over salad. Gently toss to coat. Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.
