This is a salad that I remember my Grandfather making in Crete after he had come home from his fields laden with fresh produce.

Tomatoes and cucumbers ripened under the hot sun full of flavour, aromatic parsley, farm fresh eggs combined with olives and potatoes for a satisfying salad that keeps you full for ages.

Tips and Questions


What Are the Best Potatoes for This Salad?

The best potatoes to use for potato salad are the waxy potato variety as they have the least starch and keep their shape when chopped and tossed in a potato salad with your dressing and other ingredients. 

Can I Make This Salad Ahead?

  • You can prepare this salad a day ahead by boiling the potatoes and the eggs and by making the dressing in a glass jar, storing everything covered in your fridge until you are ready to assemble it.
  • This salad tastes just as good if not better the next day as the flavour has been allowed to develop and mature overnight.
  • A great salad for your lunchbox or a picnic provided you keep it cold.

Tips for Making This Salad

  • You can also boil the potatoes whole and cut them up with their skins for a rustic version of this salad. Just make sure that you scrub them well before boiling and keep in mind that whole potatoes take longer to boil.
  • Add a tin of tuna or salmon for some additional protein to keep you satisfied for even longer.
  • Try it with some capers or caperberries for an extra bit of briny saltiness.

What Diets is it Suitable For?

A great salad that is gluten and dairy-free and that is also suitable for Paleo eaters, it can be made vegan or vegetarian if you omit the eggs.
