Easy Sicilian Potato Salad (No Mayo) is a light, authentic Italian side dish made with tender potatoes, olive oil, capers, and fresh herbs. Simple, flavorful, and perfect for summer gatherings, this traditional Mediterranean recipe is a fresh twist on classic potato salad.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into chunks
- 1 cup thinly sliced red onions
- 1/2 cup capers
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half
- 1 cup pitted kalamata olives whole or sliced your preference
- 1/3 cup chopped Italian parsley
- 1/3 cup torn fresh basil
- 1 Tbsp oregano fresh or dried
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender, about 12–15 minutes. Drain well.
- While the potatoes cook, make the dressing directly in a large serving bowl. Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, basil, capers, sliced red onion, parsley, and oregano. Stir everything together.
- Add the warm potatoes to the bowl and gently toss until fully coated in the dressing.
- Let the salad sit for at least 20 minutes before serving so the potatoes absorb all the flavors.
