Greek Potato Salad

Recipe Description

This Greek Potato Salad is a delicious flavor combination which takes its inspiration from Greece. The quintessential Greek salad ingredients are all present in this potato salad: olives, feta cheese, cherry tomatoes and oregano. It’s lighter than traditional potato salads too because there is no mayo in the dressing.

It’s super simple to make too. Start by cooking potatoes in boiling water. While the potatoes cool on a baking sheet, make a dressing by combining oil, vinegar, shallot, mustard, pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the potatoes, tomatoes, feta, olives and oregano to the bowl with the dressing and mix well to coat. Enjoy!

To make my version of Greek Potato Salad, you will need the following ingredients:

This looks delicious! I can't wait to make it. It's very similar to a recipe I misplaced, but had made many years ago for my large Greek family gatherings - and it was always a hit. From what I recall, the only difference was the type of vinegar - my recipe called for red wine vinegar instead of white. White probably makes a prettier presentation. The reviewer who commented that this is "not really Greek" has no idea what they're talking about. So glad to have found your recipe. Thank you!
