  3. Combine remaining olive oil, parsley, shallots, chives, mustard, and vinegar in a large bowl.
  4. Heat a grill to medium. Clean and oil the grilling grate.

  6. Toss potatoes with the dressing and pumpkin seeds. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

*To toast pepitas: heat a small heavy skillet over medium heat. Add in the pepitas and stir for about 4-5 minutes until they become fragrant and start to brown a little. Pour into a bowl to stop the cooking or add directly to your salad.
