I love a good potato salad, but something about the classically heavy mayo base is not always appetizing. This particular potato salad solves that issue by swapping traditional mayo for a light olive oil and honey mustard dressing.
A spin on a traditional vinegar-based German-style potato salad, the flavors and textures of this recipe are the perfect compliment to any entree you’re craving.
Prep this easy-to-make side dish the day before, but wait until you’re ready to serve to add the dressing. Your guests will love the combination of fresh herbs and tender red potatoes in this lightened potato salad.

Instructions
- To a large pot, add the sliced potatoes and 1 Tbsp. of salt. Cover the potatoes with water.

- When you’re ready to serve, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt and pepper in a Mason jar or salad dressing container. Whisk to combine.
