Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs red potatoes
- 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup fresh basil
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skins on for texture.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato pieces and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until just tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, halve the grape or cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons.
Chop the fresh parsley and basil finely, and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the slightly cooled potatoes, halved tomatoes, sliced red onion, and chopped herbs.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, being careful not to break the potatoes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Cover the salad and let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
Serve as a side dish or light main course, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
