  • 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup leeks, chopped and rinsed well

Instructions

  • Cook Potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Prepare Vegetables: While the potatoes are cooking, chop the leeks, white onion, shallots, dill, parsley, and green onions.
  • Toast Caraway Seeds: In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the caraway seeds until fragrant (if using).
  • Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked potatoes, leeks, white onion, shallots, dill, parsley, green onions, and toasted caraway seeds.
  • Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, 3/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper.
  • Toss Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
  • Serve: Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld.

Notes

  • For a more intense flavor, prepare the salad a few hours in advance and refrigerate.
  • If you prefer a creamier texture, add a spoonful of sour cream to the dressing.
