Description
A bright and flavorful Greek potato salad tossed in a zesty lemon dressing with fresh herbs, briny olives, and creamy feta. This dish is both refreshing and satisfying with bold Mediterranean flavors.
Ingredients
2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh oregano, finely chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
3 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 1/2 tsp salt. Add whole Yukon Gold potatoes and cook for 10–12 minutes until tender but firm.
- While potatoes cook, prepare ingredients by slicing scallions, mincing garlic, chopping herbs, crumbling feta, and slicing olives.
- In a large bowl, whisk together scallions, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper.
- Drain the potatoes and briefly rinse with cool water to stop cooking while keeping them warm. Cut into bite-sized cubes.
- Add warm potatoes to the dressing and gently toss to coat so they absorb the flavors.
- Fold in fresh oregano, dried oregano, and dill.
- Add feta cheese and olives, mixing gently to keep the cheese intact.
- Let the salad rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Notes
Add cherry tomatoes, cucumber, or red onion for extra texture and flavor.
Substitute feta with goat cheese for a different taste.
Use fresh herbs for the brightest flavor, though dried can be used if needed.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Let sit at room temperature before serving to restore texture and flavor.
