Lemon & Herb Potato Salad

There are many different recipes that will come in and out of your life that hold a significant meaning.

My mom’s potato salad is one of those. She’s been making it since I was born, and it’s such a classic recipe for our family get-togethers.

I’ve made her recipe a handful of times, but I like to switch up my potato salad recipes every now and then. It’s fun to experiment with different flavors and ingredients.

I’ll always cherish her recipe, though. Steadfast family recipes are good to have in your recipe box.

This lemon & herb potato salad goes back to the basics. The dressing is simply lemon juice, olive oil, and fresh cut herbs. The potatoes are a mix of mini gemstone potatoes, but you could easily swap them out for small red potatoes.

I love how this recipe came together. It’s vibrant and oozes spring-time flavors BIG TIME. The fresh herbs really brighten up the dish.

Enjoy!
