Begin by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into bite-sized pieces while leaving the skin on for added fiber.
Place the potatoes in a large pot filled with water, bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain the water and let the potatoes cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, in a small saucepan, combine the vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and olive oil. Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, chopped red onion, and diced cucumber.
Pour the warm dressing over the potato mixture and gently stir to make sure everything is coated evenly.
Add the chopped parsley, chives, dill, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together gently.
Allow the salad to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired before serving.
