1/2 small red onion, peeled and roughly chopped
2 pounds potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
3 cups arugula, stems removed, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
5 tablespoons olive oil
Put onion in small bowl and cover with cold water (to remove some of the bite). Put the potatoes in large pot of generously salted water. Bring to boil over high heat, lower heat simmer and cook until just tender. Drain well and put into large bowl.
Gently toss warm potatoes with rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add chives, arugula and red onion and stir. Whisk together red wine vinegar, mustard and olive oil in small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour over potato mixture and toss to combine. Serve warm.
