Notes

Use high-quality olive oil and Dijon mustard for the best results. Fresh herbs make a noticeable difference in flavor compared to dried ones. If short on time, pre-washed baby potatoes can save effort without compromising taste. This salad is vegan and great for various dietary preferences. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; flavors improve with time.
