Potato Salad With Fresh Herbs and Lemon image

This is a great salad for picnics, get-togethers or potlucks(contains no mayonnaise). It's just a great potato salad. I love fresh herbs and I enjoy using them in my recipes every chance I get. I found this in a Bon Appetit "Deliciously Light" cookbook, and it justly describes this salad.I have taken liberties with this recipe, therefore it's not the same as in the cookbook. Times do not include time to bring water to a boil.
