A bowl full of delicious potato, olives and feta cheese salad.

This potato salad is such a time saviour dish

The other day I came home really tired from work, school run, and my walk and I was totally drained. I could do with no dinner and just go to sleep as early as 6 pm but what I couldn't do in reality was leave my kids and hubby with no dinner!

Not ideal. Oh yes, my hubby could have cooked something too but he was also tired and not in the mood, so I just quickly washed some potatoes and in 15 min this tasty salad was on the table.

A quick fix to save an evening it's always welcome, especially midweek and especially after the Christmas holidays trying to get into some sort of a routine.

All you really have to do it's open the fridge, see what's there and do a tiny little thinking?

How handy can that be when an idea just pops out as a quick flashlight out of nowhere and saves your evening? Very handy indeed!!

Variations

I sometimes sprinkle some fresh thyme - it goes super well with this whole combo not to mention some boiled eggs too.

Delicious! It is all I can say.

This potato, olives and feta cheese salad is so simple to prepare and it's soo delicious!

I make this as a main dish sometimes for a quick lunch or dinner but it could also be a side dish to any meat or a simple starter. It's very nice for parties too and it can be made all throughout the year. There is no season really for this, whether is summer served as a side to a nice BBQ or midwinter and put on a Christmas dining table, it's simply a brilliant side.

  • 2 medium red onions
  • 4-5 sprigs basil/parsley/dill (fresh)

Instructions

  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly.
  • Place a pot with water over high heat with a tablespoon of salt. Boil the potatoes for 15 min- leave the skin on.
  • When ready, set aside and allow them to cool or pour ice-cold water over them. It will make peeling easier. Peel all the potatoes and cut each into 6 chunks.

Notes

Enjoy this tasty and really quick to prepare potato salad! I have to say this combination is totally made in heaven and you will agree with me once you have made this tasty, tasty potato salad.
Oh, one more tip - feel free to add a sauce or a vinaigrette which can be a mix of salad creme, mayo, balsamic vinegar and one or two cloves of garlic which you can crush and paste to your best abilities.
