Ingredients
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 pounds baby red potatoes
  • Kosher salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup champagne vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 1/2 cups lightly packed baby arugula
  • 1 cup lightly packed parsley
  • 1/2 cup lightly packed dill
Directions
  1. In a medium saucepan, cover the eggs with water and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat for 8 minutes. Drain and cool under running water, then peel.
  2. In the saucepan, cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and simmer over moderate heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil with the vinegar and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Set a crosshatch baking rack over the bowl. Put one egg on the rack and, using a small plate, press it through the rack. Repeat with the remaining eggs and the potatoes. Add the onion, arugula, parsley and dill and gently fold to mix. Season generously with salt and pepper and fold again. Serve.
