Ingredients
Method
- Place the halved baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-18 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart.
- While the potatoes cook, whisk together the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Drain the potatoes well and let them cool for about 5 minutes — you want them warm but not steaming hot.
- Add the warm potatoes to the bowl with the dressing and gently toss to coat evenly. The warm potatoes will absorb the dressing beautifully.
- Fold in the fresh dill, parsley, and chives. Taste and adjust salt and lemon juice as needed.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
• For the creamiest dressing, make sure your tahini is well-stirred before measuring — the oils tend to separate.
• This salad tastes even better the next day, so don't hesitate to make it ahead for parties.
• Add a pinch of flaky sea salt right before serving for an extra pop of flavor and texture.
