How to Make Greek Potato Salad

Step 1:

Add the potatoes in a pot and fill with water until they are fully submerged. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and place over heat. Cook until tender, then strain. Peel the skin once it is cool enough to handle. Cut into pieces.

Step 2:

Make the vinaigrette. In a large bowl, add the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. While whisking, pour the extra virgin olive oil. Mix until well combined.

Step 3:

Add the potatoes to the vinaigrette while they are still warm. Add the red onion, green onion, Kalamata olives, and the herbs. Mix until well combined. Allow the potatoes to absorb the flavors for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
