Asparagus and Red Potato Salad

This is intended as warm salad inspired by the German potato salad omitting the bacon and the high fat sour cream.

1 bunch asparagus, woody ends at the bottom cut off, and the spears cut into two inch pieces
3 new red potatoes, cut into cubes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 sweet onion, sliced thin
3 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
4 tablespoons light sour cream
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until fork tender; add the asparagus and cook for only two more minutes. While you are waiting for the potatoes to cook, in a large mixing bowl combine the sour cream, vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley. When potatoes and asparagus are cooked, drain well in a colander and then toss in the sour cream mixture. Can be served immediately or refrigerate for a cold salad later.
If you have any fresh herbs like dill or cilantro, add it for a little for extra flavor.

I made this recipe yesterday - noticed that the instructions do not indicate adding the ONION to the dish. I add the onions to the sour cream/vinegar sauce. I would say the recipe serves 6-8 as a side dish, rather than 4.

Interesting variation on potato salad. I don't think it will become a routine side dish for us, but it will be a nice 'different & tasty' dish to take to potlucks.
