This vibrant dilly bean potato salad offers a sophisticated twist on a classic vegetarian side dish. By combining creamy baby Yukon Gold potatoes with the sharp, vinegar-led crunch of pickled dilly beans, you create a beautiful balance of textures and flavours. A hint of smoked paprika adds depth to the mayonnaise dressing, while fresh watercress or wild rocket provides a peppery bite that cuts through the richness of the hard-boiled eggs.
Ideal for summer entertaining or as a hearty accompaniment to a weekend lunch, this homemade salad is both comforting and refreshing. The secret lies in dressing the potatoes while they are still hot, allowing them to absorb the tangy shallot infusion. It is a versatile dish that can be prepared a day in advance, making it a stress-free addition to any buffet or garden party spread.
