It wouldn’t be summer without someone bringing a potato salad to a BBQ. But forget about the stodgy, old-fashioned, mayonnaise-based recipe and replace it with this fresh, light and flavoursome version.
Ingredients:
1kg (2.2lb) waxy potatoes
1 cup finely chopped herbs (mint, chives, parsley, basil, dill)
salt to taste
Dressing
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tsp crushed garlic
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp sugar
salt and pepper to taste
Method:
• Cut the potatoes to the size and shape desired and gently boil in salted water until just cooked. Do not overcook, as the potatoes will go mushy.
• Drain the potatoes and place in a large bowl.
• Combine the dressing ingredients in a jug.
• Pour half of the dressing over the potatoes, stir gently, and allow the potatoes to cool while marinating in the dressing.
• Add the herbs and the remaining dressing to the potatoes, and stir gently.
• Serve at room temperature or chill until ready to serve.
