- 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of one large lemon
- Salt to taste
- Freshly cracked pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 1 cucumber, peeled and diced
- A handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
- A generous handful of fresh dill, chopped
- A generous handful of fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced olives or capers
- Start by washing about 2 pounds of potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 1-inch pieces) for consistent cooking. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil, the juice of one large lemon, salt, and freshly cracked pepper to taste. Add in a teaspoon of dried oregano if using.
- While the potatoes cool, chop half a red onion, one cucumber (peeled and diced), and a handful of cherry tomatoes (halved). These add crunch and freshness to the salad.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled potatoes, chopped vegetables, and a generous handful of chopped fresh dill and parsley. Pour the dressing over the top.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese and about 1/2 cup of sliced olives or capers. Be careful not to mash the potatoes while mixing.
- Give your salad a taste. You might want to add more lemon juice, salt, or herbs based on your preference.
- For the best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows all the flavors to meld beautifully.
