BC Fresh Warba Potato Salad
by Caren McSherry
These beautifully firm local potatoes make for an amazing salad. Not your mamas potato salad, often made with eggs and mayonnaise. This is an outstanding option for outdoor dining and picnics. They can take the heat as the dressing is made with olive oil, making it food safe in warmer temperatures.
Dressing Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small garlic clove minced
- 2/3 cup lemon infused olive oil (*)
- 3 Tablespoons sherry vinegar
- Ground fresh pepper to taste
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds BC fresh Warba potatoes
- 1 jar fire roasted artichokes, drained well and quartered
- 1 cup kalamata or Castelvetrano olives, blotted dry
- 6 ounces feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill
Method:
1. For the Dressing: Place the mustard, garlic and vinegar in a bowl, whisk together, slowly pour in the oil, whisking all the while until the dressing is smooth and thick. Add the salt and pepper to suit your taste. Set aside.
2. Boil the potatoes until fork tender, drain and place in your serving bowl. Immediately pour the dressing over top while the potatoes are still hot. This allows for the dressing to be absorbed into the potato and not just sit on top.
3. Add the artichokes, half the dill and olives and lightly toss to coat.
4. Finish by crumbling the feta overtop and the remaining dill.
- Serves 6-8
