Sweet and White Potato Salad with Mixed Greens

This potato salad, combining white or golden potatoes and sweet potatoes is one I often make for company. It's so pretty, perched on mixed greens and ringed with grape tomatoes and avocado, yet is incredibly easy to prepare. It's wonderful for summer and early fall potlucks and other gatherings.

• When the potatoes are done, drain them in a colander and rinse under cool running water until just warm. Combine in a mixing bowl with vinaigrette; season with salt and pepper.
• Line a large serving platter with the greens. Mound the potato mixture in the center.
• Scatter the tomatoes and avocado around the perimeter of the salad. Top the potato mixture with a sprinkling of pumpkin seeds. Serve at once; pass around additional vinaigrette as desired.
