A vibrant and tangy Balsamic Potato Salad featuring tender baby potatoes tossed in a flavorful balsamic vinaigrette with fresh herbs, cherry tomatoes, and red onions. Perfect as a side dish for any meal, served warm or chilled.

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 & 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 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. Cook Potatoes Until Tender: Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
  3. Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined to create the dressing.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, finely chopped red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes. Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly.
  5. Add Fresh Herbs: Fold in the chopped fresh parsley and basil, then taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
  6. Serve: Serve the salad warm or chilled. For best flavor, allow the salad to rest for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.

Notes

  • This salad can be served warm or cold depending on preference.
  • Using baby potatoes ensures a tender texture and quicker cooking time.
  • Adjust honey in the dressing to taste for a sweeter or tangier balance.
  • Fresh herbs like parsley and basil add brightness and aroma to the salad.
  • Can be prepared a few hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
