Oil and Vinegar Potato Salad

This vibrant oil and vinegar potato salad offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional mayonnaise-heavy versions. By dressing the potatoes while they are still warm, they absorb the tangy red wine vinegar and subtle sweetness of the sugar, resulting in a much deeper flavour. The addition of extra-virgin olive oil and fresh Italian parsley provides a silky finish and a hit of garden-fresh fragrance.

As a heart-healthy side dish, this recipe is perfect for those seeking a lighter, Mediterranean-style accompaniment to grilled fish or roasted chicken. It is naturally dairy-free and vegan, making it an excellent choice for summer picnics and outdoor gatherings where mayonnaise-based salads might struggle in the heat. Serve at room temperature to enjoy the creamy texture of the Yukon Gold potatoes at their best.
