In a large pot, place the potatoes and cover with lightly salted water.

refrigerate until cold.

Cut potatoes into thirds or any size you prefer, and place in a large bowl.
Add the peas, onion, parsley, tarragon, savory, and oregano. Mix lightly to
blend. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and herbs and toss gently. Serve
on lettuce leaves or radicchio with a crowning dash of fresh pepper.

Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Tahini Tarragon Dressing
ingredients, adding water as needed. Makes about 2/3 cup. Pantry Note:
Substitute a commercial lo/no fat Lemon Tarragon Dressing (such as
Briannas). Add fresh herbs to taste.

Did you know: Potatoes are usually considered a carbohydrate, but they are
also a moderate source of protein. This recipe: A blend of fresh herbs and
red onion gives bright flavors to this salad. Tahini adds calcium to the
creamy, dairyfree dressing. CALS 264 with 30.6% CFF (9.3g).
