Lemon Dijon Potato Salad

Make ahead recipe
Lemon Dijon Potato Salad

My goal was to come up with a potato salad that wasn’t heavy with mayonnaise and would be a great side dish to serve with salmon or burgers or a green salad. Lemon Dijon Potato Salad is a bright flavored side dish with layers of deliciousness.

Lemon, Dijon mustard, vinegar, turmeric, capers…

There is also a secret ingredient I added for a hint of spice. This may sound a little crazy but I have always loved the peperoncini peppers that come in a jar and use on sandwiches or salads. I had a jar and decided to use the “juice” rather than vinegar. Since it is made mostly of vinegar with some infused spice from the peppers, how could it be bad?

This recipe is part of he Fresh Summer Recipe Series I am doing in conjunction with Culver City Farmers Market The potatoes are from Don Betos Farms.

Try this with the Tamarind Grilled Chicken.

Dressing ingredients: Peperoncini, Dijon mustard, red pepper flakes, turmeric, capers
