No Mayo Herb Potato Salad is a light, refreshing alternative to traditional creamy versions. Featuring a simple vinaigrette and plenty of fresh herbs, it’s perfect for warm-weather meals, picnics, or anyone avoiding mayonnaise.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives or green onions, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
  2. Cut the warm potatoes into bite-sized chunks and place them in a large bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and toss gently to coat.
  5. Add the chopped parsley, dill, and chives. Stir to combine.
  6. Let the salad rest for 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Use waxy potatoes to help the salad hold its shape and texture.
  • This dish can be made ahead; it gets more flavorful as it sits.
  • Peeling potatoes is optional—thin skins add texture and nutrients.
  • Best served at room temperature or chilled. No need to reheat.
