greek potato salad
(6 ratings)
This is a very good salad, it is a twist on old fashion potato salads. I hope you enjoy it as much as my friends and family do! It is a very easy recipe. In this one, do not use sliced tomatoes at all. This is a great pot luck or picnic recipe. Enjoy!

How To Make greek potato salad
-
1Make the dressing first!!! Put all ingredients in a blender or food pocessor and pulse to blend well and infuse the flavors. Leave sit until needed.
-
2Prepare all ingredients as directed on the ingredient list. (While potatoes are boiling, about 10 minutes depending on your stove, prepare other items).
-
3Keep an eye on those potatoes, you don't want to over or under cook them, just have them slightly al dente. Drain in colander, pour into large bowl (or I use a large roast pan). While potatoes are warm, gently toss in all the ingredients. Pulse the dressing and pour over the salad and toss until well coated.
-
4Taste the salad, and add more yogurt and lemonjuice in blender with anything you deem nessesary to have the right consistancy and flavor. I say this because a large potato to me may be a larger potato to you, which would affect the absorbtion rate of the dressing.
-
5Cool salad and refrigerate until needed. Just before serving: Gently stir. Garnish with some mint leaves and Greek olives.
