This roasted potato salad is the kind of side that steals the show. Inspired by garden dinners and summer picnics, it’s full of fresh herbs, crunchy pistachios, and a zesty homemade dressing. It’s bright, satisfying, and made to impress — no mayo overload here.
Potato Salad:
1 ½ lb gold potatoes, quartered, skin-on
2 green onions, chopped
1 cucumber, chopped
1/3 cup salted shelled pistachios, chopped
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Homemade Dressing:
1/4 cup mayonnaise (regular or vegan)
2 tbsp brown or Dijon mustard
3 garlic cloves, minced or grated
1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
1 tbsp maple syrup or agave
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 25–30 min until golden and crisp. Let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine roasted potatoes, cucumber, green onion, pistachios, dill, and parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until creamy and smooth.
Pour dressing over salad and toss gently to coat.
Chill or serve slightly warm.
Nutty, herby, and tangy — this isn’t your grandma’s potato salad, but it just might become your new favorite
