1. Scrub potatoes and dice into bite size pieces. Put potatoes in large pot of cold water, add 1/2 tablespoon salt, bring to a boil over medium high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender, but not too soft. Drain immediately, making sure they're dry, and put in large bowl.
2. Whisk together in a separate bowl the vinaigrette and mustard until smooth, then pour half the mixture over the still-warm potatoes and toss gently. Set potatoes aside for 30 minutes - do not refrigerate.
3. Meanwhile, chop the onions, celery, and radishes.
4. When ready to serve, add the vegetables, then the remaining vinaigrette dressing and toss together, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Pack in containers for picnic or serve immediately.

Old fashioned potato salad is perfect for a big picnic or cookout. And, there are so many different mustards to choose from now. It used to be that I'd just grab the good old yellow tub and use that. Now, I have a refrigerator full of hearty mustards, so I thought "why not?"
If your family isn't quite on board with the different mustards yet, just mix in a little of the yellow stuff, too. The color and flavor of the stone ground mustard will still come through, but the yellow mustard fans will still get the familiar flavor and yellow color. Enjoy!
