Potato Salad

Fresh, lively, and bursting with flavor. This salad brightens any meal and is a delicious alternative to the typical mayonnaise-laden versions.

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 – 2 1/2  lbs. wax potatoes (white, Yukon Gold, or red)

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • Juice of 1- 2 large lemons

  • 1 red onion, finely diced

  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 teaspoon dried Greek oregano (optional)

  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions                                                                                

  • Finely chop onion and parsley.                            

  • In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano (if used), parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and onion. Mix well and set aside.

  • Wash potatoes well.

  • Add potatoes to a large pot of boiling, lightly salted water. Cook potatoes at low boil for about 15 - 20 minutes, or until potatoes are just tender. Do not overcook.

  • Drain water and let potatoes cool slightly to touch.

  • When slightly cooled, peel and cut potatoes into slices or large dice (If desired, leave skin on red potatoes).

  • Place potatoes in a large bowl; add dressing and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat.

  • Cover bowl and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Stir every once in a while to redistribute dressing.
