Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  1. Boil the Potatoes: Place the halved baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Simmer Until Tender: Once boiling, reduce the heat and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
  3. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined to make the dressing.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss to coat.
  5. Add Fresh Herbs and Season: Fold in the fresh parsley and basil, adjusting seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Serve: Serve the salad warm or chilled, allowing the flavors to meld for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For best taste, serve chilled after letting it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables or herbs as per your preference.
