Greek Potato Salad
The variety of potato salads found across Greece proves the popularity of this dish. In many versions, potatoes are tossed with a red wine vinaigrette, as they are here. The potatoes soak up the dressing and the salad is served warm. The addition of capers, coriander, parsley and lemon zest gives the salad a pleasantly citrusy, salty flavor.
