Instructions

  • Place potatoes in a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover by 2-3 inches. Stir in 1 tablespoon salt and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender about 12-15 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander and let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, ½ teaspoon salt (or more), Dijon mustard, cumin, and chili powder until homogeneous. Stir in the crushed red pepper and pesto sauce, and mix well. Add potatoes, artichokes hearts, tomatoes, and mozzarella pearls and toss to coat.
  • Place our healthy potato salad onto a serving platter. Cover well! You can serve it warm, at room temp, or chilled. If serving warm or at room temp, make sure to let it sit on the counter for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to marry together.
  • Right before serving, garnish with basil leaves. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Can I Make this Potato Salad (No Mayo) Ahead?
Make this no mayo potato salad 12-24 hours ahead, cover, and chill to marry the flavors for longer.
Storage
Store healthy potato salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
If you are serving it at a party, it will keep at room temperature for 1 hour.
If you are serving it at an outdoor barbecue or picnic, it will keep for about 30 minutes but make sure to store it on ice in a cooler.
Can I freeze this no-mayo potato salad? 
While you can freeze vinaigrette potato salads, I do not recommend it. After thawing, the liquids will separate and become soupy.
If you would like to freeze it, cook, cool, and freeze just the potatoes.
