Steps

  • 1
    If potatoes are large, cut in half. In 3-quart saucepan, place steamer basket in 1/2 inch water (water should not touch bottom of basket). Place potatoes in steamer basket. Cover tightly and heat to boiling; reduce heat. Steam 18 to 22 minutes or until tender; cool to room temperature.
  • 2
    In large glass or plastic bowl, beat all Lemon Dressing ingredients with wire whisk until blended; set aside.
  • 3
    Add potatoes and remaining salad ingredients except cheese to dressing; toss. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Sprinkle with cheese just before serving.

  • This dressing also makes a fantastic Greek Green Salad. Just omit the potatoes, and toss the remaining ingredients with 8 cups bite-size pieces romaine.
  • Serve this delicious and pretty salad on a platter lined with lettuce leaves. Accompany it with warmed pita bread and fresh fruit.
