Ingredients
  

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes

Veggies

  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced

  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Spices & Finishing

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Boil the baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes, then drain and let cool.
  • Once cooled, cut the potatoes in half and place them in a large bowl.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, black olives, and feta cheese to the bowl.

Dressing and Assembly

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and toss gently to combine.
  • Chill for 30 minutes or serve at room temperature.

Notes

Cook potatoes until just fork-tender to avoid mushy texture; test one before draining. Let potatoes cool slightly before cutting to keep them from falling apart. Adjust vinegar and oil to taste; a little extra red wine vinegar brightens the dish. Make ahead and refrigerate for flavors to meld; dress just before serving if you want firmer potatoes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
