Bring a large pot of water to a full boil. Add the salt and stir. Add the potatoes and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Keep the water at a gentle boil the whole time. Drain and rinse. Allow to dry completely. Serve at room temperature with pesto dipping sauce.

Blend the dressing and the pesto until smooth. You can use Vegenaise or light mayo and store-bought pesto as well. Here's my pesto recipe, followed by the ranch dressing. I use half walnuts and half pine nuts to make the recipe less expensive.
