Challenges
In this healthy potato salad recipe, white-wine vinaigrette dresses the potatoes, tomatoes, feta and olives. Waxy potatoes, such as red and yellow, make the best potato salad because they hold their shape when cooked. Keep the potato skins on for more fiber and potassium.
Prep/Cook Time: 45 Minutes, Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 2½ pounds yellow or red potatoes, scrubbed and diced (½- to 1-inch)
- ¾ teaspoon salt, divided
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
- ¼ cup finely chopped shallot
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup quartered Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano or 2 teaspoons dried
Directions
- Bring 1 to 2 inches of water to a boil in a large saucepan (or pot) fitted with a steamer basket. Add potatoes, cover and cook until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt; let cool 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk oil, vinegar, shallot, mustard, pepper and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the potatoes, tomatoes, feta, olives and oregano; stir well to coat. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until cold.
