Salad Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes Choose waxy potatoes for a creamy texture that holds up well.
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes Use vine-ripened tomatoes for the sweetest flavor.
- 1 cucumber A crisp cucumber adds refreshing crunch to the mix.
- 1/2 red onion Red onion offers a mild, slightly sweet bite.
- 1 cup feta cheese Feta brings that quintessential salty and tangy flavor to the salad.
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives These olives add a rich, briny depth that pairs wonderfully with the potatoes.
Dressing Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil High-quality extra virgin olive oil enhances the overall taste of the salad.
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar This vinegar complements the ingredients with its zesty acidity.
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano Oregano gives the salad a classic Mediterranean touch.
- salt Adjust the salt based on your preference and feta’s saltiness.
- pepper Freshly cracked pepper relishes the flavors and adds a subtle kick.
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly before handling.
- Cut the cooled potatoes into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they’re not too small so they maintain their shape in the salad.
- Combine the potatoes, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and Kalamata olives in a large mixing bowl. Toss gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well-blended. This dressing will infuse your salad with delightful flavor.
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently yet thoroughly, ensuring every ingredient is coated with the zesty goodness.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors meld beautifully together for that refreshing taste.
Notes
Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of additional oregano before serving for a touch of color.
