This is an excellent potato salad that I make all the time. The fresh herbs really make the difference. I use Italian Flat parsley, and throw in some steamed green beans and black olives. Add some hard boiled egg, tuna and chopped tomato and you have a potato nicoise salad!

    This was a nice change. A guest called it "refreshing" due to the fresh herbs. After reading the reviews, I decided to make it with half red creamer potatoes and half baby purple potatoes. Good call. I think it might have been even better looking if I had used white balsamic, but I used brown. Great for the hot day we had since I didn't have to worry about mayo sitting out. Thanks!

    Sorry folks, I know everyone else seemed to love this recipe... I did not. I made it exactly as written and everyone agreed that it just seemed to be missing something. I'll try another recipe. Thanks.

    This is terrific-very flavorful and different from the standard potato salad. I'm serving it with a roast chicken tonight for an easy Friday night dinner. I'll definitely make this again, as it's quick and easy too.

    Kimke, if I could give this more than 5 stars, I would do it in a heartbeat. My husband picked this one out for our 4th of July bbq--I had to kiss him for choosing it! Fabulous, easy, even better the second day, too! We used all red potatoes, and I had to use red balsamic. I did use the fresh herbs, and oh my goodness, it's just delicious! Everything else was to the letter. My dad LOVED it and he is a confirmed mayo in his potato salad-type guy, lol. We'll definitely be enjoying this one often. Thank you for sharing such a great recipe!

    Very good. I also saw Ina Garten making it on TV. I substituted balsamic vinegar with the juice of 1 lemon and I also used dijon mustard seeds instead of ready to eat mustard. Came out delicious,wedid not have leftovers . The only downside is that it doesn't look very appealing to the guests,since potatoes don't hold their shape when mixing. I will still be making it for our summertime famly meals. Thank you.
