Notes
- Cook the Potatoes Just Right: Make sure the potatoes are tender but not falling apart. Overcooked potatoes can make the salad mushy.
- Cool the Potatoes Completely: Let the potatoes cool completely before mixing with the dressing to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Balance the Flavors: Taste the dressing before adding it to the potatoes. Adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or more lemon juice as needed.
