Lebanese Potato Salad
This flavorful Lebanese Potato Salad combines fork-tender potatoes with fresh parsley, scallions and mint and gets tossed in a zesty lemon and olive oil dressing. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats and is also perfect for potlucks and picnics since it doesn't include any mayo.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes
- ½ cup parsley chopped
- 1 scallion both green and white parts, chopped.
- 1 Tablespoon chopped spearmint
Potato Salad Dressing
- 4 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper more to taste
Instructions
- Place cleaned unpeeled potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower heat to medium and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 18 minutes.
- Meanwhile, clean and chop the fresh parsley, scallions and mint leaves. Set aside until ready to assemble the salad.
- In a small mason jar, combine the olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt and pepper. Put the lid on the jar and shake well.
- Once the potatoes are fork tender, drain them in a colander and set them aside to cool slightly. Dice still warm potatoes into medium-sized pieces and add them to a large bowl.
- Add the herbs and dressing to the potatoes while they are still warm. Toss well, taste and adjust the seasonings to taste.
- Serve potato salad warm, at room temperature or refrigerate if serving later.
Notes
- Cooking time for the potatoes will vary depending on type and size, so cook until potatoes are fork-tender. Baby red and golden potatoes used in this recipe took 18 minutes to cook from the time they were placed on the stove.
- Lebanese Potato Salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- To revive stored potato salad, add a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice and adjust the seasonings.
