Heirloom Potato Salad with a Fresh Herb Mustard Dressing

August 28, 2017 · 1 Comment

Lightened Heirloom Potato Salad with a Fresh Herb Mustard DressingThere have been three foods I can’t get enough of this summer – watermelon, corn, and potato salad! 

This light heirloom potato salad with a delicious fresh herb and mustard dressing has been made at least twice a month since first creating it. Now that’s how you know this is the kind of potato salad that will make you hang onto summer as long as you still can, or until the cool fall weather is here. 

This potato salad isn’t drenched in mayo or creamy dressing, instead it is flavored with a lighter mustard vinaigrette. I tend to steer away from any recipe that uses mayo, including potato salad. Truth be told I can’t remember the last time I ate potato salad, but this summer I’ve eaten so much of it!

This recipe has actually been brewing since late spring, when I first began buying heirloom potatoes from my local farmer’s market. They had baskets of the cutest baby potatoes, from soft reds, golds and even purple. I only needed to test to recipe once to know it was going to be absolutely perfect for summer. Initially I wanted to roast the potatoes for even more flavor, but to keep things sweet and simple, I boiled them. But if you’re feeling gourmet, go ahead and give them a roast, it will taste amazing! This potato salad is perfect on a hot afternoon, great to take on a picnic and even better served to a laid back crowd at an end of summer party.

This dish is definitely the way to kick off our series of effortless late summer recipes. It really does bring together so many of the season’s flavors I enjoy. It’s fresh and tangy from the dressing, and earthy, crisp and every bit satisfying. What could make this recipe better, is that it tastes even more delicious the longer it sits in its flavors. I definitely recommend making this summer dish ahead of time, it’ll be worth it. The longer the fresh lemon thyme, vinegar, lemon and mustard have to sit, the more time they have to make their yummy magic happen.

This potato salad was intended to serve as a side dish, but it is filling enough to be served as a main dish too. And it can also be served slightly warm or at room temperature, which I actually prefer. No more worrying about mayo spoiling in the heat, this vegan dairy-free potato salad is summer weather proof. It’s a great transitional meal for fall too, so go ahead and swap in fall produce as they come into season, like figs or winter squash.

I think this lovely potato salad has become my favorite dish this summer because it captures the simplistic, yet delicious flavors from my favorite season.

This week I’ll be sharing a Chill Late Summer Party fit with a simple and delicious menu and laid back music playlist, so don’t forget to stop by the blog. It’ll be just the inspiration you need to have an amazing Labor Day Weekend.

The last lazy weekend of summer is upon us, so let’s celebrate with simple and delicious food!

  1. 1 to 1 1/2 lbs - Heirloom Potatoes {use fingerling, new or any kind of small potato}

  4. Once the potatoes are cool, toss with the sliced radishes, parsley and dressing. Store in an airtight container, preferably overnight, until ready to serve. Enjoy this potato salad slightly warm or at room temperature too.
Notes
  1. You can make this salad ahead of time, storing in an airtight container in the fridge. Can be kept for up to 5 days.

I’ve never been one to connect with the color pu I’ve never been one to connect with the color purple much, & yes I believe everyone connects to colors in certain ways. And yet, Clematis are some of my favorite flowers🌿

For a brief few Spring days each year, the garden is a vision of purples....deep rich violets that almost look black, their sheen like velvet, delicate lavenders & pretty mauves that flutter in the breeze. Nature is a true delight for the soul🤍

They’re calling for a too hot, too soon kind of weekend, but we’ll be surrounded w. love celebrating a special wedding at a lovely location! Hope this weekend brings you moments of rest & joy, that allow you to look at all that is blooming🌱…
tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight of the fact I get to create & "work" w. beautiful flowers; one of the things I love so much & one of the joyful parts of creating & sharing my work w. others. But this whole social media thing is weird right, the world is weird & broken right now -- as creatives seems like are new age question is "do I post this pretty picture when this is really happening right now?! but it's also kind of my job to put my work out there for others to see, right?!" ... but I’m learning, funny enough, by some inspiring women on this platform, it's ok to feel all these things while also sharing the joyous, cool & helpful things we are all working on, creating & hoping to bring into this world. Life is filled w. beautiful & sad moments, happiness, joy, grief, fear, doubt, love. All the tiny things🤍

& if anyone watched last night's This is Us, how beautiful was their telling of one's final moments, looking back at life. Ugh my heart😢
There’s one word to describe the first full even There’s one word to describe the first full event of the season…ethereal🤍

Event season is in full swing & it’s nice to finally step aside from planning to bring all the ideas, time & details to life!
“We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, “We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, rising & falling into our weathered souls…” - Angie Weiland-Crosby🌼

May is the start of a busy few months of events, so I’m going to make sure I prioritize Rest whenever I can. But also plenty of garden days, living & cherishing simple moments — because when the busy days will feel like a blur or the state of the world (big/small) only adds to the mental drain, I know these will be the things that keep me going🤍
