French Potato Salad

About This Recipe:

Classic American potato salad is delectable, but if you want something that is lighter and vegan, this French potato salad is a great alternative. I use a mix of red and yellow potatoes because I like the contrast (yellow potatoes are sweeter and have a more buttery texture,) and it looks beautiful. If you like herbs and vinaigrettes, you are bound to like this dish. You can eat this at room temperature, but I prefer letting it chill in the fridge for a bit before serving.

Enjoy!
