Great for a potluck, as a side dish or a simple supper.

Makes 8–10 servings

½     pound bacon, diced
5     medium-size red potatoes
3     large crisp red apples
1/3     cup chopped red onion
2     ribs celery, chopped
1/3     cup chopped yellow bell pepper
Salt and pepper, to taste

Honey Mustard Vinaigrette
¼     cup apple cider vinegar
½     cup vegetable oil
1     tablespoon honey mustard
¼     teaspoon ground red pepper
1     teaspoon thyme leaves

In a large frying pan, cook bacon until crisp; set aside.

Boil whole potatoes 30–40 minutes, until fork-tender, then drain and let cool. Peel and cube potatoes. Place in a large bowl.

Cut apples into chunks and add to potatoes. Add onion, celery, and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper.

Honey Mustard Vinaigrette: In a separate bowl, whisk dressing ingredients together until emulsified. Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat.
