What To Serve With It

I love pairing this fresh herb potato salad with grilled meats like chicken or steak, especially during summer cookouts. It’s also perfect for summer picnics, where it complements sandwiches or cold cuts without stealing the show. The bright, herby flavors make it a versatile side that’s hard to resist!

Grilled Meats

Grilled meats are a summer favorite, and I’ve found that pairing them with the perfect side can make the meal unforgettable. When I grill, I focus on grilling techniques like indirect heat for thicker cuts and high heat for quick searing. I also love experimenting with meat marinades—my go-to is a mix of olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs. It adds so much flavor! Pairing these juicy, smoky meats with a fresh herb potato salad creates a balance that’s hard to beat. The creamy, tangy salad complements the richness of the meat, making every bite a delight.

Summer Picnics

Summer picnics are all about easy, portable dishes that taste great at room temperature and bring everyone together. When I pack my basket, I always start with picnic essentials like fresh herb potato salad, which is a crowd-pleaser. Summer trends lean toward invigorating sides, so I pair it with chilled watermelon slices, tangy lemonade, and crunchy slaw. Sandwiches or skewers make great mains, and cookies or brownies satisfy sweet cravings. I throw in a blanket, reusable utensils, and wet wipes—trust me, you’ll need them! It’s all about keeping it simple, tasty, and fun for everyone.
