Greek Lemon Potato Salad
Report
This Greek Lemon Potato Salad bursts with sunny Mediterranean flavors, and is a healthier alternative to classic potato salad ~ no mayo means it's perfect for outdoor picnics and barbecues, too.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds baby or new potatoes
- 8 scallions thinly sliced, white and green parts
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano don't use dried ~ substitute fresh dill, rosemary, thyme, or parsley
- salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste
dressing
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp prepared mustard
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- zest of 1/2 lemon
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/8 tsp salt, or to taste
- several good grindings of black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the potatoes in boiling water until they are just tender, and easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Drain and cut into bite sized pieces, in quarters or in half, depending on the size of your potatoes.
- While the potatoes are cooking make the dressing. Put all the ingredients in a small jar or measuring cup and blend with a stick blender until bright yellow and creamy (emulsified.) Be sure to taste it now to see if you need more salt, more lemon, or whatever.
- While the potatoes are hot, dress them in several tablespoons of the dressing, gently tossing to make sure they all get coated. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate until cold.
- When the potatoes are chilled, add the green onions and fresh oregano. Season with salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste. Toss with more dressing and serve.
Notes
- This is a simple salad with few ingredients, so make each of them count. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for best flavor, and be sure your lemon juice and oregano are fresh.
