If you’re dreaming about Greek food, you may be thinking of stuffed calamari, tzatziki, or other “staples”, but what about a Greek Potato Salad recipe?

While you may be thinking of rich, creamy, mayonnaise-heavy potato salads, this Greek-style salad isn’t quite that.

Instead, it’s a lighter, healthier version. Think of it as a Greek salad with potatoes and then some added mushrooms for extra flavour.

It’s the perfect summer salad for days outdoors or a good accompaniment to heavier meals any time of year.
