This fresh spring potato salad is a light, healthy side dish perfect for barbecues, picnics, or any grilled or pan fried fish and meat. It appeared in the April 2019 Co-op magazine.

Featuring new potatoes, Spring vegetables, herbs, feta cheese and a tangy dressing, it’s simple, delicious, and full of flavour!

Tips

  • If you can't get Jersey Royals, if they're either unavailable in your local shop or supermarket or you're making it out of season, don't worry...other new or baby potatoes work well too.
  • Dairy-free - make a dressing using olive oil and lemon juice instead of yogurt.
  • Vegan - use plant-based yogurt or a lemon olive oil vinaigrette to make it vegan-friendly.
  • Herbs and spices - fresh herbs like chives or basil will also give a refreshing Spring flavour. Adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or cumin will give a unique twist.
  • This spring potato salad recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What type of potatoes are best for potato salad?

New potatoes, fingerlings, or baby potatoes are ideal for potato salad. These types of potatoes hold their shape well after cooking, making them perfect for salads. Their waxy texture also absorbs flavours beautifully without becoming too soft or mushy.

Can I make this potato salad ahead of time?

Yes - you can make the salad ahead of time. However, it's best to add any fresh herbs or delicate vegetables like peas just before serving to keep them vibrant and crunchy. Store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Can I serve the potato salad warm?

Yes - this potato salad is designed to be served warm with the potatoes and vegetables being roasted in the oven.

Traditionally, potato salad can be served either warm or cold. If you prefer a warm salad, toss the boiled potatoes with the dressing while they are still slightly warm so they absorb the flavours more effectively.

Can I make this potato salad vegan?

Yes - to make this potato salad vegan, simply use a plant-based yogurt or a lemon and olive oil vinaigrette instead of any dairy-based dressing.

Can I add protein to this potato salad?

Absolutely - you can add proteins like hard-boiled eggs, grilled chicken, bacon, or tofu for a more filling meal. Beans like chickpeas or lentils also make great plant-based protein additions.

How do I store leftover potato salad?

Keep leftover potato salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. It may need a little fresh dressing or lemon juice when serving leftovers to liven up the flavours.
