Savory Spanish Potato Salad

Recipe Description

My Savory Spanish Potato Salad is a great option for a light lunch, side dish, or picnic. What makes a Spanish Potato Salad, Spanish?

Well, it’s loaded with tasty Mediterranean ingredients for a start. Capsicum, pimento-stuffed green olives, garlic, shallots, and parsley all add wonderfully summery flavors and crunchy textures to this salad. I use red potatoes for this dish as I find them to be firmer and less soggy than other varieties. They hold well when tossed with all the other ingredients and take on a lovely coating of the vinaigrette, rather than going mushy from it.

Olive oil and red wine vinegar are all you need to dress this easy salad. Buen provecho!

To make Savory Spanish Potato Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
