Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Give your salad a taste. You might want to add more lemon juice, salt, or herbs based on your preference.
  7. 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.
