French Potato Salad Bowl Recipe

Potato salad often brings to mind the gloppy, mayonnaise-y picnic staple. But in Southern France, potato salad is a whole other story — fresh and light, with tons of herbs and ground mustard. In my version, I also add a little maple syrup for a hint of sweetness to round out the flavors, and it makes for the most perfect meal when scooped over a bed of greens. —Kiki Nelson

Directions

Place the potatoes in a small pot and add just enough water to cover. Over medium-high heat, bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly while you make the rest of the salad.

In a small bowl, stir together the mustard, maple syrup, lemon juice, garlic, and dill.

Add the greens to a large bowl. Scatter the potatoes over the top, followed by the onion. Drizzle with the dressing and toss well to combine.
