Categories     side-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound baby red potatoes, halved
1 pint (2 cups) cherry tomatoes, halved
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup pitted black olives, halved
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large lemon, zested
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add the potatoes to a medium saucepan with enough cold water to cover by at least 2 inches. Set the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the water to a boil and continue boiling until the potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and allow them to dry for 5 minutes.
  • In a serving bowl, add the potatoes, tomatoes, scallions, olives, parsley, capers, thyme, olive oil, and lemon zest. Toss gently until all the ingredients are coated and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Refrigerate for 1 hour and gently toss again before serving.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds medium-size red-skinned potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
1 large tomato, seeded, diced (about 3/4 cup)
1 large dill pickle, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Steam potatoes until just tender, about 12 minutes. Transfer to large bowl. Cool potatoes slightly. Drizzle with vinegar; toss to coat.
  • Heat oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion; sauté until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and Old Bay seasoning; sauté 1 minute. Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature. Add onion mixture to potatoes. Add remaining ingredients. Toss gently to combine. Season salad with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Red potatoes are the best choice for this salad because they hold their shape well and have a slightly sweet flavor. You can also use Yukon Gold or baby potatoes.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm. You don't want them to be too soft or they will fall apart when you mix them with the other ingredients.
  • While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the other ingredients. Chop the tomatoes, onion, and celery. Mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, and seasonings.
  • When the potatoes are done boiling, drain them and let them cool slightly. Then, add them to a large bowl along with the other ingredients. Stir until everything is well combined.
  • Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or with some crusty bread.

Conclusion:

Red potato and tomato salad is a classic summer dish that is both refreshing and delicious. It is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
