Homemade Greek Potato Salad is a light, vibrant side dish made with tender potatoes, a zesty lemon-olive oil dressing, fresh herbs, red onion, and olives. It’s a Mediterranean twist on a classic that’s perfect for warm-weather meals.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cubed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1/2 cup chopped cucumber (optional)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, dill, or oregano (or a mix), chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add cubed potatoes and cook for 10–12 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. While potatoes cook, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  3. In a large bowl, combine warm potatoes, red onion, olives, cucumber, and tomatoes.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad while the potatoes are warm and toss gently to coat.
  5. Stir in chopped herbs and top with crumbled feta if using.
  6. Let the salad sit for 15–20 minutes before serving, or chill and serve cold.

Notes

  • Use roasted potatoes for added texture and flavor.
  • Skip feta or use a plant-based alternative for a vegan version.
  • Add chickpeas or grilled chicken for a heartier meal.
  • Green olives or capers can be used instead of Kalamata for variation.
  • Best served chilled or at room temperature—no reheating needed.
