No reviews

A fresh and vibrant Mediterranean-style potato salad made with tender potatoes, herbs, olives, pickles, and a tangy sumac and balsamic dressing — a light, flavorful twist on traditional potato salad.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 45 medium potatoes (Yukon gold or red potatoes)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup black olives, chopped
  • 3 small pickles, chopped
  • ¼ cup capers
  • ⅓ cup chopped parsley
  • 56 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sumac
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil whole unpeeled potatoes in salted water for about 20 minutes or until just tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Peel and cube the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Place potatoes in a large mixing bowl and add red onion, black olives, pickles, capers, parsley, and sun-dried tomatoes. Mix gently.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then sprinkle in salt, chili flakes, and sumac.
  5. Toss carefully to coat the potatoes evenly with the dressing and seasonings.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Notes

  • Use lemon juice or red wine vinegar instead of balsamic for a variation in flavor.
  • Try fresh mint or dill in place of parsley for a different herb profile.
  • Let the salad sit for a few hours before serving for deeper flavor.
  • Serve cold on warm days or room temp for best flavor balance.
