I used toasted walnuts instead of pine nuts -- and put half of them straight into the pesto, and half straight on top -- and it was great.

I am going to serve this at Thanksgiving. My mom's a vegetarian, so it's nice to have the vegetables be healthy and interesting. I just made this and kind of smashed the potatoes..delicious!

I used Basil from my garden (yay!) and made everything ahead of time and then just combined about an hour before serving. It was easy and the perfect fresh summer potato salad! Thanks again Deb!

It's more of a deconstructed pesto. This intentionally leaves the ingredients separate, for texture. It’s more of a deconstructed pesto.

A little nervous though, since other times I've made pesto, I've included the parm and pine nuts in the food processor. It seems like everyone has had good results though. What do you recommend I do if the pesto isn't binding well in the food processor? At that point, should I just add the pine nuts and parm? Thanks!

Thanks for the inspiration, Deb. (also, would some finely chopped yellow onions be a terrible replacement for scallions? Can you tell i'm sick and don't want to leave the house for groceries? Yeah.)

It was loved by all! I had a stroke of genius this morning and took some of the leftover salad, picked out the parmesan pieces (so they wouldn't burn/stick), and threw it in saucepan to heat it up. Then I topped it with a poached egg and some freshly shredded parmesan. Dude. It's a gift that keeps on giving. I made this for a party on Friday night, with the addition of sliced cherry tomatoes.
