Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces haricot vert, trimmed
12 fingerling potatoes
1 tablespoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon clover honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup extra-virgin Greek olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Canola oil, for grilling
8 ounces feta, crumbled
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
2 tablespoons lightly chopped fresh oregano
Fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the haricot vert until al dente, about 90 seconds. Shock in ice water, drain well, chop in halves or thirds and reserve.
  • Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with 2 inches cold water and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil and cook until a small knife inserted into the center of the potato meets with some resistance, about 5 minutes. Drain well, place on a baking sheet and let cool slightly. Halve lengthwise.
  • Whisk the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey and salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
  • Heat the grill to medium heat. Toss the potatoes with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown in spots, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove and toss with some of the vinaigrette.
  • Combine the potatoes, green beans, feta cheese, olives and oregano in a bowl. Toss with more of the vinaigrette, taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Scatter the parsley leaves over the top and drizzle with a bit more olive oil.

GREEK-STYLE FETA POTATO SALAD WITH VINAIGRETTE



Greek-style Feta Potato Salad With Vinaigrette image

This is another great potato salad from my collection... I have even added in a couple of tablespoons of Feta cheese when processing the vinaigrette dressing. This complete recipe may be doubled if desired.. NOTE: If you should decide to add in a bit of garlic, only add in about 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, as fresh garlic just seems to overpower the salad, but it is just as good without the garlic..... you are going to just love this potato salad, so I DO suggest you double the recipe lol!

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 3/4 pounds small red-skinned potatoes, cut into quarters
1 bunch fresh mint, chopped
8 ounces feta-cheese, crumbled
3/4 cup brine-cured black olives (such as Kalamata), pitted, chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin oil

Steps:

  • Place potatoes and 3 tablespoons mint in large pot of salted water. Bring water to boil, reduce heat and simmer potatoes until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain potatoes; transfer to large bowl.
  • Set aside 2 tablespoons each of mint, cheese and olives; add remainder to warm potatoes. Mix in oil. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish potatoes with reserved mint, cheese and olives. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use waxy potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better when boiled, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Boil the potatoes until tender but not mushy: Overcooked potatoes will fall apart when mixed with the other ingredients.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely: This will help prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the ingredients: Over-mixing will make the potato salad mushy.
  • Taste the potato salad and adjust the seasonings as needed: You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
  • Chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

With its creamy texture, tangy dressing, and colorful ingredients, this potato salad with feta cheese and olives is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
