- 1 piece waxed bologna (about 300 g)
- 1 lb (454 g) tiny new potatoes
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ lemon, for zest and juice
- 1 ½ tbsp. (22.5 ml) grainy mustard

- 1 clove garlic, cut in 2
- Dijonnaise dressing, to taste
- Olive oil

instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until a fork inserted meets only slight resistance. Remove from heat, drain, cover and let rest 10 minutes.
- Place the onion, lemon zest and lemon juice in a salad bowl, add the mustard, pickles and a ¼ cup of olive oil. Whisk to make a vinaigrette.
- Cut the still-warm potatoes in 2 or 4 and place in the salad bowl, toss well, then add the dill, salt and pepper and toss again.
- Drizzle the bread slices with some olive oil, place on a baking sheet and bake until just coloured.
- Rub the bread slices with the garlic halves, cut them into 3 and set aside.
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil.
- Cut the bologna into 3 thick slices and then into chunky cubes.
- Plunge bologna cubes into the boiling water just long enough to warm them up.
- Divide the warm potato salad into 4 plates and top with the bologna cubes and garlic bread and serve accompanied by ramekins of Dijonnaise dressing.
