Looking for an Easy and Healthy Potato Salad? Try Our Mediterranean-Inspired Version | BLUEPILLEXPRESS
When it comes to finding a side dish that is both satisfying and healthy, potato salad is a classic—but often loaded with mayonnaise and unnecessary calories. If you’re on the lookout for a light, fresh, and nutrient-rich option that doesn’t compromise on flavor, this Mediterranean potato salad from BluePillExpress is just what your plate needs.
Why Go Mediterranean?
The Mediterranean diet is widely regarded as one of the healthiest eating patterns in the world. It emphasizes whole foods like vegetables, olive oil, legumes, whole grains, and lean proteins. By drawing inspiration from this lifestyle, BluePillExpress brings you a potato salad that’s heart-healthy, full of vibrant flavors, and naturally low in processed ingredients.
Ingredients That Pack a Nutritional Punch
Our Mediterranean potato salad skips the heavy mayo and uses extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice as the base for its dressing. These heart-healthy fats are combined with fresh herbs, crunchy vegetables, and nutrient-dense additions like Kalamata olives and red onions. The result? A salad that not only satisfies but also supports your health goals—especially if you’re focused on clean eating and weight management with BluePillExpress.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 pounds small red or yellow potatoes
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1 large lemon
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp sea salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
- Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions:
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender but not mushy (about 10–15 minutes). Drain and let cool slightly.
- Cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks and place in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Toss the potatoes with the dressing while they’re still warm so they absorb all the flavor.
- Add onions, tomatoes, parsley, olives, and feta if using.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
