Warm Potatoes Peas and Pepper Salad

This warm potato salad is a great side dish and could make a light vegetarian meal as well.
1-1/2 lb fingerling potatoes, halved
1/2 red pepper, sliced
1/2 yellow pepper, sliced
1/2 orange pepper, sliced
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 Tbsp capers
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

Put potatoes in a medium pot and just cover with water. Bring to a boil, add a teaspoon salt, and simmer until potatoes are only just cooked through.

Meanwhile, sauté the peppers in a bit of olive oil for 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another 2-3 minutes. Add the peas and capers, stir and remove from heat. When the potatoes are just done, drain and fold in with the veggies. Add the vinegar and lemon juice and toss gently. Salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh Italian parsley.  Serve as a warm salad or side dish.

Serves 4.
