Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk the oil with the vinegar, salt and pepper. Transfer a half cup of the dressing to a large bowl and combine with the potatoes, scallions and additions of choice. If the salad seems dry, correct with some or all of the reserved dressing.

  2. Step 2

    Marinate at room temperature for at least a half hour, taste, correct salt and serve. The salad will keep, refrigerated, for three or four days.
