Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 150 grams Feta cheese
- 4 stalks Scallions (Green onions)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Sunflower oil (or olive oil)
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large saucepan. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the scallions and parsley. Set them aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool slightly. Peel the potatoes (if desired) and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Let them cool completely to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potato cubes with the chopped scallions and parsley.
Crumble the feta cheese into the bowl, making sure to distribute it evenly throughout the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sunflower oil, white vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until evenly coated. Be careful not to break the potatoes while mixing.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or vinegar if needed.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with extra parsley if desired. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for a refreshing experience.
