Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds small yellow potatoes
- 0.5 cups green olives (pitted and sliced)
- 0.5 cups black olives (pitted and sliced)
- 0.5 cups celery (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cups red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic clove (minced)
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot.
Cover the potatoes with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Add the sliced green and black olives, chopped celery, red onion, and parsley to the bowl with the potatoes.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasonings if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or vinegar to suit your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish, and enjoy!
