It’s hot, so when it comes to dinner, I like to keep things cold, quick and fresh. And anything that compliments whatever slab of meat I toss on the grill? Bonus.
This salad is super easy. It’s looks amazing. You can make it the night before (which I recommend, as it tastes even better!). And I can pretty much make it with one hand, which is good for when I am holding a baby…or…like…a bottle of wine…with a straw in it.
Lemon Thyme Potato Salad
3 Teaspoons chopped fresh Thyme
2 tablespoons minced Garlic
2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tablespoons White wine (cooking wine ok)
1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2-3 lbs. Small Red Potatoes
2 Lemons
1 Large Candy Sweet Onion
1. Clean and quarter the red potatoes.
2. Add potatoes to a large pot of salted water, and bring to a boil, cover and continue to boil 12 minutes, or until potatoes are cooked through. Drain and set aside to cool.
3. Roughly cube the onion, and toss into a large serving bowl with the cooled potatoes.
4. In a small bowl, combine thyme, garlic, vinegar, wine, and the juice of 1 lemon. then, slowly whisk in the olive oil, pour over the onions and potatoes, and gently stir to coat.
5. Refrigerate at lest 3 hours. Before serving, garnish with more chopped thyme, and a halved lemon.

Yum! If I cooked, I’d be ALL OVER this one.
Sorry, boiling of water is required…

Looks good.
But what’s up with the EXTRA virgin oil…for god’s sake…isn’t it good enough just to be able to find the virgin oil….but now it has to be EXTRA virgin. Soon it will be like that with people.
Are you a virgin?
No, I’m an EXTRA virgin….
HAHAAAAaaaaaaa…………………..

I love your food posts. Always something yummy and easy, which is good, because like you, I’m usually cooking while holding one kid and trying to throw snacks at the other to actually MAKE it to dinner. Always in the mood for another version of potato salad — I’ll be trying this one next week.

I will be making this. It looks nice and easy and hubby and I won’t fight over the pickles or olives in regular mayo based potato salad!
