Method
Prepare the Potatoes
- Fill a large pot with water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. This will help season the potatoes as they cook.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully add the cubed Yukon Gold potatoes. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not mushy.
- Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool for about 10 minutes. This cooling step prevents the salad from becoming mushy.
Make the Dressing
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Whisking emulsifies the oil and vinegar, creating a smooth dressing.
- Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust acidity by adding more lemon juice or vinegar if desired.
Assemble the Salad
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, Kalamata olives, red onion, and parsley.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Be careful not to break the potatoes.
- Finally, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top and give the salad one last gentle toss.
- Serve the salad at room temperature or chilled. It can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
