Herbed Potato Salad

Healthy Fact of the Day

This herbed potato salad uses olive oil and apple cider vinegar in the dressing, making it a lighter and healthier alternative to traditional mayonnaise-based potato salads. The fresh herbs add a pop of color and a burst of flavor, as well as some extra vitamins and antioxidants.

Ingredients

 

  • 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

 

Instructions

  1. Place the halved baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

  2. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey to create the dressing.

  4. Add the cooled potatoes, dill, parsley, and green onions to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly.

  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  7. Before serving, give the potato salad a final toss and adjust the seasoning if needed.
