Light and Lively Potato Salad starts with fingerling potatoes in several colors and includes green olives, capers and celery curls.

Simmer potatoes until tender; drain and cool. Cut in half widthwise.

In large bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard and lemon zest. Slowly whisk in oil; season with salt and pepper. Fold in potatoes and remaining ingredients, except celery curls; adjust seasoning. Marinate for a few hours. Mound in bowl or on individual salad plates; garnish with celery curls, if using. Makes 6 servings.

Notes: To make celery curls, with vegetable peeler, shave celery into long strips. Place in ice water for several hours or until strips curl. For a complete meal, stir 2 cups coarsely shredded rotisserie chicken or 3 coarsely chopped hard-cooked eggs into salad.
