English Mint Potato Salad is a light and healthy potato salad. It is dairy-free and ideal for picnics or outdoors eating as it doesn’t have any mayo so there is no risk of spoiling in the hot sun.
In these hot summer days we eat a lot of potato salad. It doesn’t take long to make and is handy to keep in the fridge for light lunches with a bit of grilled chicken. However, I also make this easy potato salad recipe all the time for our garden barbecues or picnics in the park.
English Mint Potato Salad is also the perfect dish for bringing along to a gathering or potluck as it goes with pretty much anything. If you need to leave it out on a buffet table for a while then you also don’t need to worry at all as there is no mayo here to spoil.
What do you need to make English Mint Potato Salad?
- New potatoes
- Tenderstem broccoli
- Spring onions
And for the dressing we just need:
- Apple cider vinegar
- Salt
- Honey
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Fresh mint leaves
Do you need to peel the new potatoes?
Nope, which is why they are the best potatoes to use for a potato salad. However if they are direct from the farmers’ market then scrub them well to remove any dirt.
Can you make Potato Salad the day before?
Yes, it keeps well for up to 3 days. However, I do recommend if you are making it beforehand then to top off the dish just before serving with another tablespoon of chopped fresh mint leaves to liven it up. I also recommend serving at room temperature and not straight from the fridge.
Can you warm English Mint Potato Salad up?
This potato salad should not be warmed up once dressed because it affects the taste and freshness of the dressing. You can eat warm straightaway or if it has been in the fridge then bring it up to room temperature before serving.
