The best, easy, warm potato salad with perfect hard boiled eggs and coasted in a silky vinaigrette of olive oil and red wine vinegar. I like to keep it rustic and healthy, so no mayo, no bacon, purely vegetarian, garnished with lots of fresh onion chives, fragrant dill and a handful of toasted pine nuts for texture.
Favorite Add On Ideas:
- goat cheese crumbles mixed in at the last minute for a creamy flavorful texture
- a couple of tablespoons of capers for a salty bite
- diced up cornichons or dill pickles for extra crunch
- baby arugula
