Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt, bring to a boil, and cook for 10-12 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer the broccoli to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and pat dry.
Finely dice the red onion and chop the parsley. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and emulsified.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, blanched broccoli, and red onion. Pour the dressing over the top and toss gently to coat.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and give the salad a final toss. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy!
