Mediterranean Style Mustard Potato Salad (Vegan Gluten Free) #vegan #glutenfree
Every culture, and almost every household, has its own treasured potato salad recipe. Mine is this mustard potato salad recipe; it’s one with Mediterranean influence, perhaps even a bit of French flare.
Why this mustard potato salad works for those who follow the Mediterranean diet isn’t hard to figure out. Firstly, this is a lighter, no-mayonnaise potato salad that relies more on quality extra virgin olive oil and Dijon mustard for a dressing.
You’ll Need:
- 1 1/2 lb baby potatoes (gold or red potatoes), unpeeled
- Water
- 2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup chopped red onions
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped dill
- 2 tbsp capers
Dijon Vinaigrette:
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp ground sumac
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground coriander
Instructions:
- Wash and dry potatoes. Slice potatoes thinly using a mandoline slice
- Place potatoes in a pot and add water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil. Add salt and turn to simmer until potatoes are tender about 6 minutes or so.
- In the meantime, add vinaigrette ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until well-combined
- When potatoes are ready, remove from heat and drain. Place potatoes on a tray or baking sheet and immediately add the vinaigrette (while potatoes are warm), toss to coat. Let potatoes sit for 10 minutes until flavors meld.
- Add onions, fresh herbs, and capers. Toss gently to combine.
- Transfer potatoes to a serving dish or bowl. Serve at room temperature.
NOTES:
- Make-ahead instructions You can make this mustard potato salad ahead of time. Dress the potatoes with the vinaigrette but hold the onions, herbs and capers until later. Refrigerate up to 8 hours. Before serving, add the onions, herbs and capers and toss. Bring to room temperature before serving.
