Notes

  • Slice kalamata olives in half lengthwise. 
  • Slice the red onion as thin as possible, and it won't be as sharp in the mouth.
  • Cut smaller potatoes in half. For larger potatoes, you may want to cut them into quarters. 
  • Make the potato salad up to 24 hours in advance. 
  • Potatoes will absorb the dressing. If it seems dry when serving, toss it with a little extra EVOO. 
  • Eat the salad right away while the potatoes are still a little warm, or refrigerate for a few hours to let the flavors really come together.
  • Storage - keep in a covered container inside the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • There are 9 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
