Baby red potato salad

I love a good homemade potato salad, and this one is absolutely delicious, especially if you're not a fan of traditional potato salad with mayonnaise. It only uses a tablespoon of mayo but still has a lot of sauce made from the Dijon mustard, olive oil, and red wine vinegar. And since red potatoes are used, the potatoes don't need to be peeled, so it's quicker too! For lighter potato salad recipes, try these Rainbow Potato Salad and Summer Potato Salad with Apples.

This healthy red potato salad is my favorite way to enjoy potato salad. Red potatoes provide vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium, iron and fiber. They contain even more fiber when eaten with their peel on.

Should I cut potatoes for potato salad before cooking?

Yes, I like to cut my potatoes into pieces of the same size so that they cook faster and more evenly.
