Treat your ingredients with care...
- Potatoes — Be careful not to overcook the potatoes as they can become mushy. Test their doneness by inserting a fork into a potato cube. It should easily slide in without resistance.
- Cucumber — If you prefer a milder flavor, you can peel the cucumber before dicing it. However, leaving the skin on adds a nice crunch and extra nutrients to the salad.
Tips & Tricks
- For added creaminess, you can mix in a dollop of Greek yogurt to the dressing.
- To make the salad more colorful, use a mix of different potato varieties such as red, yellow, and purple.
- For a burst of freshness, add some chopped mint leaves to the salad.
- If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, you can increase the amount of lemon juice in the dressing.
- This salad tastes even better the next day as the flavors have had time to meld together, so consider making it in advance.
Serving advice
Serve the Greek-style Potato Salad chilled as a side dish alongside grilled chicken, lamb, or fish. It also makes a delicious addition to a mezze platter or as a light lunch option on its own.
