When I was visiting Turkey a few months ago a friend from Izmir in Turkey brought this salad over for a picnic we had in a park beside The Aegean Sea. First I thought it's very hot and I'm not eating a potato salad smothered in mayo in this scorching heat.........but it turned out to be this potato salad, with no mayo. It was so yummy that I had seconds.
POTATO SALAD
6 medium potatoes (I use Yukon Gold)
2 tomatoes, chopped finely
2 green onions, chopped
1 onion (I use Vidalia), chopped
Handful of Italian flat leaf parsley, chopped
Dill, chopped to taste
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
Boil potatoes in skins and when cool peel and cut into cubes.
In a medium bowl...add potatoes, tomatoes, green onions, onion, parsley and dill and combine well. Gently mixing as not to break up the potatoes to make them mushy.
In a small bowl mix together Olive Oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste..... pour over potato mixture and combine.
Refrigerate for a few hours as it tastes better and the flavours marry together.
***This is the recipe she gave me, but I use slightly less Olive Oil and lemon juice .
Thanks for stopping by......
Oh this sounds so good,and no mayo, bonus!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing, I think I'll try this sometime, I like the idea of no mayo.
ReplyDeleteOh Erica, sorry to hear about your flood, too, such a lot of work. I hadn't planned on working this hard this summer, guess mother nature had other plans for me... good luck.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds perfect....leaving out the mayo is just the sort of receipe I have been looking for. Jx
ReplyDeleteI understand your feeling, I can't stand being in the basement anymore either. I have days of work left, before I can even begin to replace stuff. It's all over the house, so the house is a mess too. My garden at the back is a mess too, hopefully will get a blast of energy. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteLooks really yummy!...Christine
