Potato salad with Feta and Sun dried Tomato

Published: · Modified: ·by .This post may contain affiliate links ·

Out of the blue, last week my hubby asked can you make potato salad. I told yes I can make it. But there was a problem in that I had no clue how it is made, so searched in Google and came up with lots of potato salad recipes. Then realized there are lots of variation for the salad, some creamy, others with cheese and olive oil and some with Dijon Mustard. I was planning to make salad with Dijon mustard, as I had some Dijon mustard sitting in my refrigerator. I was curious enough to check the expiry date, and then I came to know that it had expired long ago. As I am not using it more often, it had a nice space in my refrigerator; I immediately gave it a place change into garbage bin. 

I decided to make potato salad with feta cheese, sun dried tomato, dill, Parsley with a Greek twist in their look and taste. I don’t want to use mayonnaise in the salad; I know they make salad rich and creamy. I wanted a healthier version (Eating potato and thinking of healthier isn’t weird?) I bought dill on last grocery shopping, they are expensive, I have to give 3 dollars for a small packet. I made a marinade with lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, and garlic and crushed red chilies. They taste great on first day. Next day they taste even better. I think marinade and feta has given flavor boost to potato salad. It is simple recipe easy to put it. My hubby has given the verdict that it is great. Here goes the recipe.

What you need


Baby red potato: 5 no
Sundried tomato in oil: 4 no
Red onion: 2 tablespoon (finely chopped)
Feta cheese: 3 tablespoon (I used reduced fat)
Dill: 3 sprigs (finely chopped)
Parsley: 2 tablespoon (finely chopped)
For the marinade
Lemon juice: Juice of 1 lemon
Salt: 1 ¼ teaspoon
Black pepper: 1 teaspoon
Crushed red chilies: ¼ teaspoon
Garlic clove: 1 (minced finely)
Olive oil: 1 ½ tablespoon


How I made

Cook the potato in sauce pan with 4 cups of water until they are done well.
In the mean time make marinade with lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, salt, crushed red chilies and minced garlic and set aside.
Once the potato are cool enough to touch, cut them into bite size pieces and set aside.
In bowl combine potato pieces, marinade, chopped onion, dill, and parsley and feta cheese until they are mixed well. 
Enjoy warm

Preparation time: 35minutes
Yield: 4 serving
Verdict: Tasty
Will you make it again: Yes I will
