Who’s says you need artificial colors or food dyes to make a fun and festive red, white and blue dish for the 4th of July weekend?
I pulled my inspiration from nature and went with red, white, and purple potatoes to make this beautiful salad that gets its bright, clean flavor from fresh summer herbs.
I love that this salad is mayo-free because you don’t have to worry about serving it outdoors at a BBQ. And don’t worry, the hard-boiled eggs add a nice creamy texture to this salad so you won’t be missing the mayo one bit.
Some of my favorite tools to use when making this salad:

- 4 hard boiled eggs chopped
- 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
- 3 table spoon chopped parsley

- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a 5-quart pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce down to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain and set aside.
- While your potatoes are cooking, make the dressing by combining all go the ingredients in a small spouted glass or mason jar. Mix and set aside.
- Add your cooled potatoes to a large bowl and toss in the eggs, onions, and herbs. Drizzle the dressing over the top and mix everything together. Serve and enjoy!

This was absolutely amazing. Best potato salad I have ever had. It’s so fresh and also so hearty. Definitely going on my potluck recipe list as one of the bests. AND it is clean. You can’t lose with this one. My boyfriend is insanely picky when it comes to eating. He doesn’t like fish chicken beans rice brussel sprouts mayo chicken broth (basically any form of chicken) tofu. It makes it incredibly difficult finding new recipes to suit everyone’s needs in the house. He didn’t like potato salad until he tried this. So thank you Dani for giving me a little magic in my kitchen.
