Ingredients
Instructions
-
Wash the red potatoes and place them in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender but still firm, about 15-20 minutes.
-
Once cooked, drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
-
Add the diced red and green bell peppers, finely chopped red onion, sliced green olives, and fresh parsley to the bowl with the potatoes. Gently toss the ingredients together to combine.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
-
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
-
Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Before serving, give the salad a final stir and adjust the seasoning if needed with additional salt and pepper.
-
Garnish with a sprig of parsley and a few extra olives before serving.
