Potluck Tater Salad with Broccoli

potluck tater salad with broccoli

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs. Yukon gold potatoes
  • 1 cup fresh broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces
  • ⅓ cup diced red onion

Dressing

  • ¼ cup good olive oil
  • 1 ½ Tbsp. spicy brown mustard
  • 2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 Tbsp. minced Italian parsley, as garnish

Instructions

  • Wash and dice the potatoes (unpeeled) into bite-size pieces; add to a pot of boiling water and cook for five minutes.
  • Add broccoli to pot and cook for an additional five minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender; drain.
  • While the vegetables are cooling, make the dressing by whisking all ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Toss potatoes, broccoli and red onion in prepared dressing, adjusting as needed to your tastes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
  • Potato salad is best served at room temperature.

This is not your traditional potato salad. Due to the tangy dressing and broccoli, this salad is a tasty alternative for picnics and outdoor gatherings. And, it’s a safer option for summertime since the dressing is oil-based instead of mayobased.
