Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds unpeeled whole mixed new potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion
1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup roughly chopped celery leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

Steps:

  • In a large pot, cover potatoes with 2 inches water and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and continue boiling until potatoes are fork-tender, about 9 minutes. Drain, transfer to a bowl, and lightly smash. Toss with vinegar, lemon juice and zest, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir in onion, parsley, celery leaves, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Serve, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 day (bring to room temperature before serving, about 30 minutes).

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice. Bottled lemon juice can be used, but the flavor will not be as bright and tangy.
  • To make the vinaigrette ahead of time, whisk all of the ingredients together and store in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before using.
  • If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of dried dill weed.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked red potatoes.
  • If you don't have a steamer basket, you can boil the potatoes in a pot of salted water. Just be sure to drain them well before adding them to the salad.
  • You can add other vegetables to this salad, such as chopped celery, carrots, or radishes.
  • This salad is best served chilled, so make it ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Red potato salad with lemony vinaigrette is a classic summer dish that is always a crowd-pleaser. It is light and refreshing, with a tangy dressing that perfectly complements the tender potatoes. This salad is also very versatile, and can be easily customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this red potato salad a try!
