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

1/4 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 use.
