    This Mediterranean healthy potato salad is creamy, delicious and makes an easy side dish. It is loaded with Mediterranean flavours like olive oil, garlic, lemon, and cumin; no mayonnaise is needed for this recipe.

    This lemon potato salad is perfect for a quick and easy dinner or lunch. I like to serve it with some roasted chicken, fish, or even steak.

    Lemon Potato Salad Ingredients:

    Potatoes: You can use red or white potatoes of any size, it is a personal preference. Just cut them into medium-sized cubes.

    Spring Onion and Parsley: Both will give a bit of green to this salad; you can replace either of them with chives if you like.

    Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best to use in making this salad.

    Lemon Juice: Gives the lovely tangy flavour to the salad.

    Minced Garlic.

    Seasonings: Ground black pepper, salt, and cumin

    Mustard: I like to use Dijon mustard because it gives a nice flavour to this potato salad.

    Top Tips:

    • Make sure to test the potatoes while cooking with a fork or knife to avoid overcooked potatoes.
    • This salad can be served warm or cold. In both cases you need to combine the dressing with the potatoes while they’re warm.
    • Instead of boiling the potatoes you can cover them in aluminium foil and bake them in the oven about 30-35 minutes.
    • If you want to add more flavours to this recipe, you can add nuts, cheese, or any herbs you prefer like thyme, rosemary, or oregano.

    Storage

    Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days maximum.
