  • Drain potatoes and set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, salt and pepper until well combined.
  • Add to this the tomatoes, onion, and olives and mix well.
  • Remove skin from potatoes, and cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Add potatoes to the bowl of other ingredients, and mix well.

  1. This is a wonderful salad! I like to use green onions and hard boiled eggs. It's light and a great change from traditional American potato salad.
     
  2. I see this recipe being a favorite around here for those picnic and family gatherings. You can make it the day ahead, because it is even better the second day. No mayo makes it the perfect recipe for picnic and backyard meals. Made exactly as directed, minus the olives. I love them, but DH is not crazy about them. You can always serve them on the side.
     
  3. Very good salad. Used green onions and grape tomatoes. Makes a wonderful side dish for barbecued chicken. If you can chill it for at least a couple hours, the flavors really come together well. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an American married to a Belgian, and have lived in Belgium since December 1999. Cooking is my major hobby. I'm also an avid reader, but I have difficulty finding the time. I love to travel. Since moving to Europe I've been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to go a couple of times per year to Paris, as well as having visited London, Rome, Florence, Naples, Amsterdam, and of course Brussels and Antwerp. I've seen at least parts of most regions of France, as well as parts of Germany, Austria, a great deal of Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Luxembourg, and Monaco. I'm absolutely in love with the Bay of Naples and Sorrento coast areas of Italy, which my husband and I recently re-visited on a trip that included Rome, Puglia, Umbria and Marche. I'm still looking forward to Ireland, Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic . . . the list is too long ! One of the bonuses of travel is getting to taste the local cuisine, and afterward trying to figure out how to duplicate it at home. I think cooking is one of the nicest things a person can do for someone they love (including themself!) I had to submit a picture with me and my cat, Sophie, as she insists on sitting in my lap when I'm sitting at the computer. If you are wondering what all that stuff hanging on the wall behind us in the photo is, it is just a small part of my husband's military medal collection. He was appalled by my posting this picture-- Our study is the messiest room in our house (thank god!)
