  • About

This is a great alternative to traditional potato salad. Offer this salad with grilled lamb, beef, chicken, or fish. It is also a great choice for occasions by the pool or outdoors. Since there is no dairy or mayonnaise in the dressing, you have less to be concerned about on warmer days.

Ingredients

For the Salad

  • 4 cups (about 2 pounds) peeled and diced red-skinned potato (½-inch cubes)
  • 1½ teaspoons and 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 2 large cloves garlic
  • ½ cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley; use green leafy parts and tender stems
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

    Method

    Prepare Ahead

    The potatoes and dressing can be prepared up to 1 day in advance. Cover and refrigerate separately. Serve as directed.
