Ingredients

For the salad

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes (900g)
  • 1 red onion thinly sliced
  • 7 ounces fresh feta cheese crumbled (200g)
  • 1 cup sliced kalamata olives (220g)
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley finely chopped
  • ½ bunch fresh dill finely chopped

For the lemon dressing

Instructions

  • Fill a large pot with cold water and add a few pinches of salt. Place the potatoes in the water and place on the stovetop. Bring to a boil and let cook for 10 to 15 minutes til fork tender. Timings will be dependant on the size of your potatoes. Once ready, drain them from the water.
    2 pounds baby potatoes
  • While the potatoes are cooking, make the dressing and prep the other salad ingredients.
  • Make the dressing by mixing together all of the ingredients in a jug or bowl.
    juice of 2 lemons, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, ½ cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 clove garlic, ¼ teaspoon dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Slice the onion, crumble the cheese, drain the olives from the brine and chop the herbs.
    1 red onion, 7 ounces fresh feta cheese, 1 cup sliced kalamata olives, 1 bunch fresh parsley, ½ bunch fresh dill
  • Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half and place in a large bowl.
  • Add the rest of the salad ingredients and pour over the dressing.
  • Mix everything together well. Serve or refrigerate.

Notes

  • The potatoes should be placed in cold water and then bought up to the boil. This will ensure they are evenly cooked through.
  • Take care not to overcook the potatoes. They should be fork tender but not mushy.
  • Make the dressing and prep the other salad ingredients while the potatoes are cooking so that everything is ready to mix together.
  • For best results, the potatoes should still be warm when you mix everything together.
