Directions
1. To make the dressing, combine all ingredients in a bowl, or a tight sealing jar, whisk or shake until well combined.
2. Pre-heat your oven to 420°F (220°C). Add diced potatoes to a bowl. Toss with olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, paprika, salt and pepper to taste.
3. Spread potatoes on a large baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
4. Once potatoes are roasted, remove from oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes, then add to a large serving bowl with all other ingredients.
5. Pour dressing over salad, toss gently until combined. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Yum! ♥︎
