Potato salad vinaigrette is a classic recipe that offers the perfect combination of flavors for a light and refreshing summertime meal. The main ingredient of the dish is, of course, potatoes, which are usually boiled until cooked through and then tossed with a vinaigrette dressing. The vinaigrette is typically a simple mixture of olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper, but you can also add other ingredients such as herbs, capers, and shallots to taste. To make the potato salad even more flavorful, you can use different varieties of potatoes, such as red potatoes or fingerling potatoes, and you can also add other vegetables, such as celery, carrots, and cucumbers.

POTATO SALAD WITH DIJON VINAIGRETTE
There's nothing complicated about this potato salad - it's really just boiled red potatoes tossed with a simple Dijon mustard vinaigrette and a generous smattering of scallions and fresh herbs - and that's the beauty of it. It's served cold or at room temperature, and its flavor gets better as it sits, making it an ideal dish to bring to a potluck or a picnic.

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

CREAMY POTATO SALAD WITH YOGURT VINAIGRETTE
You may worry about the amount of dressing in this luscious salad, but you'll find that it is largely absorbed by the potatoes. The salad resembles a classic creamy potato salad with lots of crunchy celery, but there's only a smidgen of mayonnaise here. The technique of softening the onions with boiling water comes from the cookbook author Deborah Madison.

Steps:
- Preheat grill. Brush the mushrooms with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Tips:
- Use waxy potatoes: They hold their shape better than starchy potatoes when cooked, making them ideal for potato salad.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still firm: You don't want them to be mushy.
- Cool the potatoes completely before adding them to the salad: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light hand when dressing the salad: You don't want the dressing to overwhelm the potatoes.
- Add some fresh herbs to the salad for extra flavor: Dill, parsley, and chives are all good choices.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later: Either way, it's delicious!
