- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Crunchy Elements
- ⅓ cup salted shelled pistachios (chopped)
Dressing

- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or agave syrup)

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425℉ to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
- Roast Potatoes: Place the quartered potatoes on a greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Roast them for 35-40 minutes until they are golden brown and tender inside.

- Prepare Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, maple syrup, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) until smooth.
- Cool Potatoes: Once roasted, allow the potatoes to cool for a few minutes to avoid wilting the fresh ingredients when combined.
- Combine Salad: Toss the roasted potatoes with the prepared dressing. Then add the chopped vegetable and herb mixture, gently mixing until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Serve: Enjoy the salad warm for a comforting dish or chill it in the refrigerator to serve cold for a refreshing option.
