This simple potato salad was inspired by a salad we had in Austin. Most potato salads I'm used to are dressed with a mayonnaise sauce which makes them thicker and more flavorful. But I loved the tangy light quality of a potato salad dressed with an herb vinaigrette.

I later discovered that this is more of a French way of preparing potato salad. I hope you enjoy this inspired version that is perfect for summer BBQs lazy picnics road trips and more.

This 30-minute 10-ingredient recipe starts with thinly sliced baby potatoes (we liked a mix of golden and red) that are boiled until just tender then seasoned with salt pepper and a dash of apple cider vinegar for a layer of flavor.

The dressing is a simple garlic mustard vinaigrette with both red wine vinegar and apple cider vinegar. We found that the combination of the two provides the perfect amount and quality of acidity. Fresh herbs add even more earthy flavor while olive oil helps create a creamy texture. Swoon.
