Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes (yellow or red), halved

1 cup fresh herbs (a delightful mix of parsley, dill, chives, and basil), finely chopped

1/2 cup small red onion, finely diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey (or substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional: 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions
 

Boil the Potatoes: In a sizable pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the halved baby potatoes and cook until they are fork-tender and easily pierced, typically around 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly at room temperature.

    Prepare the Vinaigrette: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and honey until the mixture is well blended and emulsified. Season with salt and black pepper to your preference.

      Combine the Salad Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the cooled potatoes, finely chopped fresh herbs, diced red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes. Use a spatula or spoon to toss the ingredients lightly, ensuring a good mix without breaking the potatoes.

        Dress the Salad: Drizzle the prepared mustard vinaigrette over the potato mixture. Carefully toss the salad again to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

          Add Feta (Optional): If you are including feta cheese, sprinkle the crumbled feta on top of the salad and give it a gentle toss to integrate the cheese without mashing it.

            Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, refrigerate the potato salad for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature. For an appealing touch, garnish with additional herbs before serving.
