This Mayo-Free Potato Salad is begging to join your next picnic, backyard barbecue, or summer grill-out. This potato salad is fresh as can be with crisp, peppery radishes, crunchy fennel, and sweet shallots. Each bite is swimming in a zippy, mustard dressing with oodles of fresh dill.
Enjoy this dish with a dry or medium-dry German Riesling.
Ingredients
Salad
- 2 lb baby potatoes
- 1 medium head fennel
- 1 medium shallot
- 2 cup radishes
Dressing
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt, plus more for potatoes
- 2 Tbsp raw honey
Directions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Slice baby potatoes in half. Add potatoes and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until fork tender, but before the skin begins to slip. Strain and refrigerate to cool completely.
- Note: you want the potatoes to be cooked just enough that they aren’t raw and crunchy in the center, but not falling apart or mushy.
- Prepare remaining ingredients. Slice fennel, radishes, and shallots into small bite-sized pieces.
- Note: you can also use a mandoline to achieve pretty, thin disks.
- Prepare dressing. Finely chop dill, then whisk together apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, dill, olive oil, salt, and honey until combined.
- Once potatoes are cooled, toss potatoes with the fennel, shallots, radishes, and dressing. Return to the refrigerator for at least one hour before enjoying.
