• 0.5 cups black olives (pitted and sliced)
• 0.5 cups celery (finely chopped)
• 0.25 cups red onion (thinly sliced)

• 1.5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic clove (minced)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot.

Step 2

Cover the potatoes with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 6

Add the sliced green and black olives, chopped celery, red onion, and parsley to the bowl with the potatoes.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 8

Taste the salad and adjust the seasonings if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or vinegar to suit your preference.

Step 9

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish, and enjoy!
