You need this easy side dish for summer because it’s pretty much the ultimate potluck/get-together/picnic potato salad. Or just make it for a side dish for dinner tomorrow for your family, then eat what’s left the following day for lunch (it does make a big batch, but you’ll be so glad it does!).
Garlic Herb Potato Salad—Best Potato Salad Recipe Ever!
This Garlic-Herb Potato Salad is perfectly vibrant and flavorful thanks to the herbed vinaigrette dressing and it’s likely going to become a go-to potato salad recipe for you. It’s easy to make and it’s the perfect use for all the herbs growing in the garden. This recipe will likely remind you of this Cumin Rubbed Grilled Chicken with Chimichurri Sauce I recently posted (if you happened to have tried it already), the flavors are very similar to that sauce but rather I swapped out the cilantro for herbs that are a perfect match for potatoes like chives, fresh dill, and thyme and added some dijon mustard. This is one of those side dish recipes that’s so good you might just find yourself heading back for another serving before you’ve started the main dish. It’s the perfect summer side and I just can’t get enough of it!
No Mayonnaise aka German Potato Salad Recipe Variations
Here are a few ideas for customizing this potato salad for your summer potlucks:
Red Onion for tangy flavor and crunch Need even more crunch? Chop up celery or dill pickles! Cook bacon until crispy and chop into tiny bites (you can even add some bacon grease to the dressing!) Chopped hard-boiled eggs if you still need some dairy Substitute red potatoes for russets or Yukon gold potatoes, but watch the cook times. Russet potatoes will need more time to bake. Add some apple cider vinegar to the dressing
