- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
 
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
 
- Salt and pepper to taste
 
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes
 
- 1 cup fresh arugula
 
- For the Herb Pesto:
 
- 1 cup fresh parsley
 
- 1/2 cup fresh basil
 
- 1 garlic clove
 
- 1/4 cup walnuts or sunflower seeds
 
- 1/4 cup olive oil
 
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
 
- Salt and pepper to taste
 
		 
	 
	
		
		
			
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
 
- Toss halved baby potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
 
- While the potatoes roast, prepare the pesto. In a food processor, combine parsley, basil, garlic, walnuts, olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
 
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm roasted potatoes, radish slices, and arugula.
 
- Drizzle with the herb pesto and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
 
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
 
		 
	 
	
		Notes
		
			
- Use a mix of herbs like cilantro or dill for a twist on the pesto.
 
- Great as a make-ahead dish—store pesto and salad separately until ready to serve.
 
- Add crumbled feta or goat cheese for extra creaminess.
