Ingredients
  

For the Potato Salad:

  • 3 pounds small yellow potatoes scrubbed
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onions or shallots about 1 small red onion
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced (include both white and green parts)
  • ½ cup of vibrant finely chopped Italian parsley leaves, adding a burst of fresh flavor to your dish.
  • 1/2 cup fresh dill chopped
  • ½ cup of pitted Kalamata olives sliced in half to reveal their rich, tangy essence, perfect for enhancing your culinary creation.

For the Vinaigrette:

  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
  • Prepare the Vegetables: While the potatoes are cooking, chop the red onions, green onions, parsley, dill, and olives. Set these aside.
  • Make the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking, creating a smooth, emulsified dressing.
  • Assemble the Salad: Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and add the chopped red onions, green onions, parsley, dill, and olives.
  • Dress the Salad: Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently until the potatoes and vegetables are evenly coated.
  • Serve or Chill: This salad can be served warm or at room temperature, but for a more intense flavor, let it chill for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.
