LEMON POTATO SALAD WITH MINT
This light and refreshing potato salad is the antithesis of the usual, creamy, mayonnaise-based recipes. The mint and scallion add a bright, herbal flavor while the sprinkle of chile lends a kick. Make this the morning you plan to serve it and let it marinate at room temperature all day long. Or refrigerate for longer storage but be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving. Other herbs like cilantro, parsley, tarragon and sage can be substituted for the mint; adjust the quantity to taste.

Steps:
- Place whole unpeeled potatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until potatoes are just tender, 15 to 25 minutes depending upon size. Drain and cut potatoes into 1 1/2-inch chunks as soon as you can handle them.
- In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, salt and olive oil.
- Transfer hot potatoes to a large bowl and toss with dressing, scallions, mint and Turkish pepper. Let cool to room temperature, or refrigerate until ready to use. Just before serving, top with additional lemon juice, scallions, mint and Turkish pepper.

PRESERVED LEMON POTATO SALAD
This no-mayo potato salad is an excellent dish to serve year-round. It's bursting with Mediterranean flavor thanks to kalamata olives, preserved lemon, lots of fresh herbs and a splash of olive oil. It's a great side for grilled meat or fish, and since it doesn't contain mayonnaise it's a good option for a picnic or barbecue where you won't have easy access to a fridge.

Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon salt to the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat, cover the pot and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the parsley, dill, mint and scallions in a large bowl. Add the red onion and olives and stir to combine.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain and let them cool completely. Chop the boiled potatoes into bite-size (about 3/4-inch) pieces. Add the potatoes to the bowl with the herbs and toss. Remove the flesh of the preserved lemon (discard the seeds and save the flesh for another use.) Finely chop the lemon rind (peel); you should have about 2 tablespoons. Add the rind to the bowl along with the garlic, olive oil, honey, 2 tablespoons of preserved lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Give it a good stir and taste; if it needs more salt, add another 1 tablespoon or so of the preserved lemon juice (see Cook's Note). Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 minutes or until al dente; drain but no need to cool. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the lemon yogurt, mayonnaise, mint, green onion, grapes, salt and pepper. Stir to coat the pasta evenly and distribute the grapes. This can be served warm or cold, but I prefer it cold during the summer because it makes such a refreshing treat.

CREAMY, LEMONY POTATO SALAD
Many years ago, I ran out of Miracle Whip® while making potato salad and added coleslaw dressing. I wouldn't make it any other way now. This can be eaten the same day, but is best the next day.

LEMON VINAIGRETTE POTATO SALAD
I developed this recipe for a friend who needed a potato salad that could withstand Fourth of July weather. The vinaigrette was a safe and delicious alternative to traditional mayonnaise-based potato salads. I've also substituted fresh thyme for the basil. Any fresh herbs would be great! -Melanie Cloyd, Mullica Hill, New Jersey

Tips:
- Select the right potatoes: Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, as they hold their shape well during boiling and won't become too mushy in the salad.
- Boil the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are just tender when pierced with a fork. Overcooking will make them too soft and fall apart.
- Cool the potatoes thoroughly: Once the potatoes are boiled, drain them and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Use a light hand with the dressing: The dressing for this salad is simple and flavorful, but it's important not to overdo it. Too much dressing can overwhelm the other ingredients.
- Add the herbs and spices at the end: Adding the herbs and spices at the end of the preparation process ensures that they retain their flavor and aroma.
- Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
This lemon potato salad with mint is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright citrus flavor, tender potatoes, and aromatic herbs, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
