Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (red or yellow)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped finely
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the baby potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring every potato is coated.
- Optional: Crumble feta cheese on top for added creaminess and flavor.
- Serve immediately at room temperature or refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Notes
[‘Don’t overcook the potatoes—they should be tender but not falling apart.’, ‘Let the potatoes cool slightly before tossing them in the dressing for better flavor absorption.’, ‘Use high-quality olive oil for the best taste.’, ‘Adjust seasoning to your preference and add a touch of honey if the dressing is too tangy.’]
