Herby Potato Salad
I love potato salad and think itβs great for so many different occasions, but what I didnβt necessarily love was the amount of mayo I was consuming when I ate it. This recipe changed all of that and I can say itβs the best potato salad recipe Iβve ever had. The last time I made this, it sat on the counter and we were literally taking a spoonful each time we walked by the kitchen β itβs that good.
I featured this recipe on my last Whole30 Recipes takeover and so many of you raved about it. I was surprised by the amount of people that were appreciative of a mayo-free potato salad. Donβt get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with mayo in a potato salad, but sometimes the flavor is bland and it overpowers the star ingredient of this recipe β the potatoes!
The amount of herbs to use is really completely up to you. Donβt like dill? Donβt use it. Use cilantro instead of parsley, you do you. I would say, donβt skip out on the garlic β that combined with the olive oil and red wine vinegar is fantastic. Additionally, if you wanted to play this recipe up a bit, try adding some Oomph Cooking Blends. Check out my Instant Pot Split Pea Soup recipe for more information about Oomph. Also, donβt worry if you canβt finish it in one sitting. Itβs just as good the next day right out of the refrigerator β again, making it the best potato salad recipe.
