Potato Salad with Radishes and Herbs

Potato Salad is a summer favourite – delicious served as a side dish as BBQs and picnics. Our healthy take on Potato Salad cuts out the heavy cream and mayonnaise and is dressed with fresh and fruity herby olive oil – so good! 

How to make the best potato salad 

I think the absolute best and tastiest potato salad is made with local new potatoes – the fresher the better. I cut them into bitesized chunks so that they literally take just 5-6 minutes to boil and keep the skins on for added flavour and colour. 

I like to add in some more colour and flavour by adding sliced radishes and lots of herbs. 

And I prefer to lighten up the dressing and steer clear of creamy versions just because it’s healthier and tastes much fresher and lighter. 

How to make non-creamy potato salad dressing

It’s super simple – just take a good swig of a nice fruity olive oil, a splash of red wine vinegar, couple of teaspoons of Dijon mustard and season well with sea salt flakes and black pepper – whisk really well. 

How to make vegan potato salad?

Well our delicious potato salad with radishes and herbs is naturally vegan. 

Do the potatoes for potato salad have to be cool before adding the dressing?

When dressing potato salad with a vinaigrette dressing you don’t need to let the potatoes cool completely – I wait until they’re cool enough to handle and then toss through the other ingredients and add the dressing – then scatter over a platter ready to serve. 

If you’re using a more traditional mayonnaise or cream based dressing then let them cool completely before dressing. 

How long can I keep potato salad in the fridge?

For the salad to be fresh and tasty I recommend keeping for no longer than 1-2 days.
