What To Serve With It
I love pairing this fresh herb potato salad with grilled meats like chicken or steak—it’s a match made in summer heaven.
Adding a side of roasted or grilled summer vegetables, like zucchini or bell peppers, brings even more color and flavor to the table.
It’s a simple, satisfying combo that always feels like a celebration.
Grilled Meats
Pairing grilled meats with the right side dishes can really make your meal shine, and I’ve found that a fresh herb potato salad is a perfect match.
When I’m grilling, I love using techniques like marinating or dry-rubbing to bring out bold flavors in chicken, steak, or pork.
The smoky char from the grill pairs so well with the creamy, herby notes of the potato salad. I’ve also discovered that adding a touch of lemon or garlic to the salad creates flavor pairings that complement the meat without overpowering it.
It’s a combo that always feels balanced and satisfying.
Summer Vegetables
Nothing says summer like a plate full of colorful, crisp vegetables straight from the garden or farmer’s market. I love pairing my Fresh Herb Potato Salad with a mix of seasonal ingredients like zucchini, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes.
They add vibrant flavors and a satisfying crunch that complements the creamy potatoes perfectly. Grilling the veggies brings out their natural sweetness, and a quick toss with olive oil, lemon, and herbs ties it all together.
It’s a simple, invigorating combo that feels light but still hearty. Plus, it’s a great way to celebrate summer’s bounty without spending hours in the kitchen!
