Mediterranean Roasted Potato Salad
I wanted to use up some fingerling potatoes and grape tomatoes I had on hand, so I decided to make this Mediterranean potato salad recipe. I roasted the fingerling potatoes, then tossed them in a lemon vinaigrette and let them cool. I then tossed the cooled potatoes with grape tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onion, and feta cheese, along with the remaining vinaigrette. It was a quick and simple recipe that tasted amazing and was a huge hit with my entire family, especially my son. This easy Greek potato salad recipe paired nicely with some Greek chicken thighs, roasted green beans, and crusty roasted garlic bread.
Mediterranean Roasted Potato Salad
Potato Salad:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups of fingerling potatoes, cut in half
- A handful of grape tomatoes
- 3 tbsp red onion, sliced
- 15 kalamata olives, sliced in half
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2-3 tbsp feta cheese, crumbles
Vinaigrette:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 clove of garlic
- ¼ tsp dried oregano

How to Make a Mediterranean Roasted Potato Salad
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and coat with cooking spray.
Roast the potatoes by cutting them in half and placing them on the baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil on the potatoes and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Toss to coat evenly, then place in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender.
Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette by combining the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, oregano, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper to taste in a small jar. Seal with a lid, shake well, and set aside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and toss with half of the vinaigrette. Set aside until they cool.
To finish, once the potatoes have cooled completely, add the grape tomatoes, red onion, kalamata olives, parsley, and feta cheese.
Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette on top and toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately. Enjoy.
