  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds new potatoes (diced into halves if larger in size)
  • 1 tsp salt (for boiling)

Dressing

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill (finely diced)
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves (finely diced)
  • 1 garlic clove (minced, optional)
  • Pinch black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil Potatoes: Add the halved new potatoes (or baby, Yukon gold, or red potatoes) to a large pot of cold water, covering them by at least 2 inches. Add a good pinch of salt, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes until fork tender. Cook longer if needed.
  2. Drain and Cool: Tip the potatoes into a colander and allow them to cool completely.
  3. Prepare Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, finely diced dill, mint, minced garlic (if using), and black pepper.
  4. Toss Salad: Place the cooled potatoes in a large serving bowl, pour over the dressing, and gently toss to coat. Season with additional salt or herbs to taste before serving.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes, Yukon gold, or red potatoes as alternatives.
  • Garlic and black pepper are optional but add nice depth of flavor.
  • This salad is best served chilled or at room temperature.
  • Make ahead and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • For a vegan and gluten-free side, this recipe fits perfectly.
