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!

Ingredients
  1. 1 to 1 1/2 lbs - Heirloom Potatoes {use fingerling, new or any kind of small potato}
  2. Sea Salt
  3. Fresh Herb Mustard Dressing

  7. 1 tablespoon - Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

Salt the water and bring to a boil, and cook the potatoes until just done and a knife can easily go through them {about 20 minutes}.

  2. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain the water and allow to cool enough to handle. Cut the potatoes into about 1" pieces. Place the potatoes in a large bowl.
  3. While the potatoes cook, make the dressing by mixing all the ingredients together in a jar.Taste and adjust the seasonings as you like.
  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 love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merr Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merry Christmas🤍❄️ this year certainly doesn’t feel the same, we’re not gathering w. our loved ones, in fact for many this holiday season has been even more stress inducing than other years. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be magical & wonderful & beautiful whether you’re with your kids, your parents or spending it alone. Don’t forget to make it special & honor your favorite traditions, even if just for yourself!!

May these final days of the year be calm, be love & may brighter days shine upon us all next year✨🌿
