Greek Potato Salad {Zoe’s Copycat Recipe}

This Greek potato salad recipe tastes a lot like the potato salad from Zoe’s Kitchen.

Dive into the refreshing Greek flavors with this Greek-inspired potato salad. This healthy potato salad takes a Greek spin on the classic potato salad, without the mayo potato salad’s typical heaviness, making it a perfect side dish for your picnic or family barbecue.

What makes this potato salad a standout is that it doesn’t have any mayo like the traditional kind, so you don’t have to worry about it going bad if left out for a little while.

In fact, you should serve it at room temperature. Otherwise the dressing gets all solid. You will want to refrigerate leftovers, though.

This Greek potato salad also makes use of an existing recipe – my Greek red wine vinaigrette, boasting yummy herbs like oregano and basil. In fact, if that dressing is already prepared, this recipe will only end up being three simple ingredients! So simple, yet bursting with fresh flavors that will transport you straight to the Mediterranean shores. Definitely on-brand for those of you trying to lean toward more of a Mediterranean diet!

Now, let’s delve into the instructions and cooking time of our best potato salad.

How to make Greek potato salad

First, gather your ingredients.

Ingredients

For tastiest results, always use the best quality ingredients you have access to.

To make this Greek salad recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• red potatoes
• salt
• sliced green onions
• My Greek Red Wine Vinaigrette
• Optional: your favorite feta cheese

Making Greek potato salad

First, place potatoes in a large pot filled with enough water to cover them. I quartered/ diced mine before boiling. If you are using larger potatoes, just dice them into bite-sized chunks, about an inch. Bring your pot of cold water to a boil, and then add 1/2 tsp salt.

Reduce heat to medium or medium-high heat (gentle, rolling boil), and cook until tender, about 12 minutes. Make sure the potatoes maintain their firm texture, not too soft.

Drain and let the warm potatoes cool a bit. This allows the dressing to be absorbed better.

Stir in the Greek dressing and green onions into the cooked potatoes. Optional: add feta crumbles for an extra bit of Greek flare. Pour dressing over the potatoes, ensuring each potato is well-coated.

Serve room temperature. And feel free to garnish with some optional fresh herbs – fresh basil, fresh oregano or fresh parsley would all taste great.
