Greek Potato Salad
A healthy, light and easy Greek Potato Salad recipe made without mayonnaise. Loaded with so many tasty ingredients you'd expect in the Mediterranean: buttery potatoes, crispy cucumber, briny capers, and oil cured olives all tossed in an herbaceous olive oil vinaigrette!
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes scrubbed, or red skinned potatoes
- 1 large english cucumber quartered lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved, or grape tomatoes
- 1 large shallot very thinly sliced
- 24 black oil-cured olives pitted and halved
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley plus more for garnish
- 2 tablespoons capers rinsed and drained
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 hard-boiled eggs peeled, quartered
Instructions
- Add potatoes to a large pot and add a small handful of salt and enough cold water to cover by an inch or two. Place over medium-high heat and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, 30 minutes or longer if your potatoes are large (A sharp knife should meet little resistance when piercing a potato.). Drain potatoes and let stand until cool enough to handle.
- Cut potatoes into rough, 1-inch cubes and place in a serving bowl. (see recipe note) In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper until emulsified.; drizzle over potatoes and fold gently to coat.
- To potatoes add cucumber, tomatoes, shallot, olives, parsley, and capers. Gently fold ingredients together.
- Arrange boiled egg quarters over salad. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with more parsley if desired and serve.
Notes
- If you have time, cook potatoes, toss with vinaigrette and refrigerate a day in advance. The vinaigrette permeates the potatoes and adds so much flavor depth to the whole salad.
