Our BBQ Potato Salad

by Madeleine Olivia from A Year in a Cottage Kitchen

Brilliant for barbecues and summer dinners, this dairy-free potato salad combines new potatoes with pomegranate, fresh herbs and sumac. Everything is coated in a citrusy lemon and olive oil dressing – great if you prefer your potato salads with no mayo.

Introduction

I prefer a lighter and fresher version of the classic potato salad, something with lemony olive oil, aromatic herbs and juicy pomegranate to accompany a barbecue. This is super easy to make ahead and serve cold for hosting in the summer.

Method

Cook the potatoes in large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, then drain and leave to steam.

Add the remaining ingredients to a large bowl, then add the potatoes and dressing, and mix to combine. Leave to chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
