The best French Potato Salad made with olive oil instead of mayo! The mayo-free sauce makes this potluck perfect, and also livens up the flavors with its notes of mustard, vinegar, and shallot. Plant-based and lower-carb options in the notes too.

Shopping List
    Salad
  • 1 pound baby yukon gold potatoes or red-skin potatoes
  • 1/2 pound green beans or asparagus, trimmed
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs (vegan, Note 1)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (or .5 teaspoon dried)
  • 3 tablespoons shallot, finely chopped Vinaigrette
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • black pepper, to taste

Instructions
  1. Step 1: To hard-boil the eggs, bring a pot of water to a boil. It should be filled with enough water to cover the eggs by an inch or more. Once the water is boiling, use a skimmer to gently add the eggs to the water. Boil the eggs for 10 to 12 minutes. After boiling, drain and rinse them under cold water and place them in a bowl of ice water. Leave them in the ice bath for a few minutes. Drain and peel the eggs.
  2. Step 2: Place the potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat and continue to boil until the potatoes are just fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Add the green beans to the pot and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. The green beans should remain crisp and bright green. Drain and rinse the potatoes and green beans under cold water. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, stir together the vinaigrette ingredients. Chop the shallots and fresh parsley, if using.
  4. Step 4: Chop the potatoes, eggs, and green beans into bite-sized pieces. Place all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and pour in the vinaigrette. Toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. I recommend letting the potato salad refrigerate at least a few hours to marinate in the vinaigrette.
  5. Serve: Enjoy. This potato salad can be eaten warm or cold.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: No eggs? Use 1 cup of halved or quartered cherry tomatoes.

Note 2: Want to make this lower-carb? Try using 1 pound of cauliflower florets, rutabaga, or celery root in place of the potatoes. Boil the vegetables until they are tender and use in place of the potatoes.
