Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Herbs
- 4–5 medium potatoes (Yukon gold or red potatoes)
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup chopped parsley
- 3 small pickles, chopped
- 5–6 sun dried tomatoes, chopped
Other Ingredients
- ½ cup black olives, chopped
- ¼ cup capers
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp sumac
- ½ tsp chili flakes
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Boil Potatoes: Start by boiling the whole unpeeled potatoes in salted water for about 20 minutes or until they are just tender but not falling apart. Drain the water and let the potatoes cool slightly before peeling and chopping them into bite-size cubes.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the chopped boiled potatoes, thinly sliced red onion, chopped parsley, chopped pickles, black olives, capers, and chopped sun dried tomatoes. Mix just enough to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Add Dressing and Season: Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the salad mixture. Sprinkle salt, chili flakes, and sumac on top. Gently toss everything together, being careful not to break the potatoes too much, ensuring all ingredients are well coated and flavors meld.
- Adjust and Serve: Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional balsamic vinegar, salt, or chili flakes if desired. Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature and enjoy the fresh, tangy flavors.
Notes
- Boiling the potatoes with their skins on helps retain moisture and flavor.
- Use Yukon gold potatoes for a creamier texture or red potatoes for a firmer bite.
- Sumac adds a unique tangy lemony flavor—don’t skip it.
- This salad can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated for better flavor melding.
- Adjust chili flakes to your preferred spice level.
