Once everything was ready, I tossed the potatoes and broccoli together in a large bowl, drizzling the vinaigrette over the top and tossing everything together gently. The warm vegetables soaked up the tangy dressing, creating a delicious and comforting dish that was perfect for a cold winter night.
