A healthy and creamy potato salad without mayo, packed with fresh herbs and a tangy dressing.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds red-skinned potatoes, scrubbed clean
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • The juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • ¼ cup packed, chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ cup sliced red onion
  • ¼ cup chopped scallions

Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes. Add the red potatoes to a pot, cover them with water, and boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to simmer and let them cook for 5-7 more minutes until fork tender. Remove and drain under cold water. Reserve some starchy water for the dressing.
  2. Cut the potatoes. Once cool, slice them in half or quarter larger ones.
  3. Mix the dressing. Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, zest, half the parsley, thyme, dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk well.
  4. Assemble the salad. Toss sliced potatoes, red onion, and scallions with the dressing. Top with remaining herbs and extra lemon zest, salt, or pepper if desired.
  5. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use reserved starchy water to enhance creaminess.
  • Best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
