15 minutes
Warm grilled potato salad is a vibrant embodiment of rustic Italian cuisine, combining simplicity and exquisite flavor. This salad hails from the regions of Tuscany, where fresh ingredients and aromatic herbs play a key role. Grilled young red potatoes develop a delicious crispy crust while remaining soft inside. A mixture of olive oil, lemon, and Italian herbs gives it a rich Mediterranean aroma. The dressing made from white balsamic vinegar, parsley, capers, and olives adds zesty notes and highlights its multifaceted taste. This salad is perfect as a standalone dish or as a side to meat and fish delicacies, creating the feeling of a sunny day on an Italian terrace.
