🧅 1 small red onion
🌶️ 1 red bell pepper
🌿 A handful of fresh dill (as much as you like)
🌿 A handful of fresh parsley (as much as you like)
🫒 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
🍋 1 tablespoon lemon zest
🍋 Juice of one lemon
🥄 1 tablespoon stone ground mustard (optional)
🧂 1 teaspoon salt
🧄 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
⚫ 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1- Prepare Potatoes:

Peel and wash the potatoes. Dice them into large cubes.
Place the diced potatoes in a pot. Cover with cold water and add 1/2 tablespoon of salt.
Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.

2- Prepare Vegetables:

While the potatoes are boiling, finely chop the red onion, red bell pepper, dill, and parsley. Set aside.

3- Make the Vinaigrette:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, stone ground mustard, 1 teaspoon of salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Whisk until the ingredients are well combined to form a smooth vinaigrette.

4- Assemble the Salad:

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly.
While still warm, add the potatoes to the prepared vinaigrette, allowing them to soak up the flavors.
Add the chopped red onion, bell pepper, parsley, and dill to the bowl.
Toss everything together gently but thoroughly, ensuring the vegetables and vinaigrette are evenly distributed.

5- Serve and Enjoy:

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for an hour to enhance the flavors.
