Hi everyone, today I am going to show you how to make potato salad with vinaigrette.
Let’s see the ingredients. The main ingredients are potatoes. We will also use cherry tomatoes and red bell peppers today. But you can use other vegetables such as cucumbers or olives.
First, cook potatoes in boiling water for 15 minutes. Stick a fork to test if it is fully cooked. Be careful not to cook for too long.
When the potatoes are boiling, cut bell pepper into pieces. Cut cherry tomatoes in halves. Cut red onion into small pieces. Finely chop the parsley leaves. Set aside.
Now let’s prepare the vinaigrette. In a small container, combine 1 part of sherry vinegar and 2 parts of extra virgin olive oil. You can also use red wine vinegar, Balsamic vinegar or lemon juice. Seal the cap and shake it. Add in honey. Shake until everything combined. The vinaigrette is made.
There are two kinds of potato salad dressings. American or Japanese style uses mayonnaise in the dressing; While Italian or Mediterranean style uses vinaigrette. I personally like vinaigrette dressing because it is fresh and has less fat. And it is easy to make.
Let cooked potatoes cool for a while. Cut them into chunks. You can also remove the potato skin if you want to.
In a large mixing bowl, add in potato chunks and some salt. Add in other ingredients and vinaigrette. Mix until combined. Add in some ground black pepper. Crush garlic cloves and add into the bowl as well. Mix well and the salad is done.
Wait until the salad is completely cool. Or you can cool it in the fridge. Do not store it in the fridge for too long otherwise it will not taste refreshing. This salad is a great side dish for BBQ or some oily entrees. I hope you like this tutorial. Thanks for watching.
