There is a potato salad recipe on the blog here that I have made many times. It is mayonnaise based. This is almost the same recipe minus the mayonnaise. It's a great way to trim some calories and the lemon with just make the rest of the flavors in the salad pop. If I am making this for the immediate family I will probably omit the onions; Mom doesn't like them. If I am making it for a different crowd, I may switch out the regular onion for green or red; just to switch it up some.
3lbs. red potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/2 C. olive oil
3 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. minced fresh basil
2 tbsp. minced fresh parsley
1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 small onion, finely chopped
Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 or until tender. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the oil, lemon juice, herbs, vinegar, lemon peel, salt and pepper.
Drain potatoes. Place in a large bowl; add onion. Drizzle with vinaigrette; toss to coat. Serve warm or chill until serving.
