Raise your hand if you are someone who never has enough potato salad recipes. That someone is definitely me. Whether dressing potatoes in and oil or creamy dressing, a good potato salad is the rockstar of my summer menus. This Green Potato Salad in Radish Mayo is no exception. Also, it brings the best of both dressing worlds together. Dress the potatoes in homemade fresh herb oil. Toss with sliced raw shallot rings. Then, smother in grated radish spiked mayo.

The result is a deliciously tangy, spicy, creamy concoction. Consequently, this side dish will be gone minutes after you place it on the table.
I spotted this idea in a German cooking magazine. However, their version served the salad inside small glass jars in individual servings, topped with the radish mayo, and a mix of chopped fresh vegetables.
One way to serve this Green Potato Salad in Radish Mayo is to ladle the dressing on the top like a condiment. Alternately, toss the dressing into the oil and herb dressed potatoes.
Make it!
Peel and chop the potatoes, boil them in salted water until you can run a fork through them. However, they should still be firm enough not to fall apart. Drain and let cool completely. In the meantime, create the radish mayo. Whisk together mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lime juice, and grated radishes. Let this sit for 10-15 minutes so flavors work together.
Blitz fresh herbs and extra virgin olive oil together in a food processor or blender. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the cooled potato pieces with the herb oil. Mix in the shallots.
At this point, transfer the herb oil dressed potato salad to a bowl, spoon the dressing on top and serve. Or, toss the salad completely with the creamy radish dressing. Either way, scatter chopped fresh herbs on top for garnish. In this case, beautiful purple chive blossoms.
Yeah, so double dressing the potatoes in herb oil and mayo is not waistline-friendly. Regardless, I regret not making double or triple the recipe. Trust me, otherwise, it will be gone the same day you made it.
