Print Recipe

A light and refreshing potato salad featuring tender potatoes tossed in a tangy Dijon mustard dressing with fresh herbs, perfect for summer picnics and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby Yukon gold or red potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped dill
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Rinse the baby potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut them into halves or quarters (about 1 to 1½ inches pieces).
  2. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes until warm but not hot.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Taste and add honey or maple syrup if the dressing is too sharp.
  5. Add the warm potatoes, diced red onion, and chopped herbs to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat evenly. Let the salad sit for 10 minutes for flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

Start potatoes in cold water to cook evenly. Use waxy potatoes like Yukon gold or red potatoes for best texture. Toss potatoes while warm to absorb dressing better. Let salad rest for 10 minutes before serving. Optional chilling improves flavor but bring to room temperature before serving.
