Italian Style Potato Salad
Overview
This Italian take on potato salad calls for al dente potatoes tossed in with refreshing herbs, vinegar, and sun dried tomato infused extra virgin olive oil. We added ingredients like diced red onion, and sweet green olives provided the perfect offset of texture to this summertime side dish. Filled with plenty of fresh garlic and robust sun dried tomatoes we recommend enjoying this salad at room temperature. Supplement herbs for in season herbs at the height of freshness. the chef recommends wild marjoram.
