Gorgeous salad – much lighter than the mayo variety.

I’ve been wanting to try a recipe like this with fresh potates, just in time, for Labor day, sounds so great, thanks
Deanna – I bought the chervil at the store. It sort of looks like flat-leaf parsley. If you can’t find it fresh, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried chervil.
This sounds delicious! I love how simple the ingredients are.
This looks fabulous! Healthy and delish, I love it.
Great recipe! I love potato salad with lots of herbs and a vinaigrette!
i love potatoes (especially red potatoes). If my husband loved potatoes as much as I do…we’d have them with just about every meal. Your salad looks really good.
I was looking for a new way to make potatoes earlier this week! Perfect timing. These look great.
I’m not a mayo fan. So think this salad rocks!
Yay! I loathe mayo, and adore balsamic vinegar, so this potato salad makes me very happy. :)
Why remove the onion ?
If they have been cooked with the potatoes for 15 minutes, then they taste good.
The mayo version with dill pickles top my list, but with the fresh herbs and other ingredients you’ve used, I’m sure it’s amazing.
I have to admit that mine seems bland when compared to how you put yours together.
Cheers.
This recipe sounds really good – I’ve never really liked the mayo version that much. Do you grow your own chervil or can you find it in the store easily? That’s one ingredient I’ve never tried.
This is so appetizing and it makes hungry :D
