Tired of the typical potato salad BBQ side? Dress-up the classic side with this delicious BBQ Grilled Leek Potato Side Salad.
Serves 8
- 500g new red potatoes
- Kosher salt and pepper
- 2 medium leeks, white and light green parts only (halved lengthwise)
- Olive oil
- 1 tbsp. finely grated lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp. cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp. whole-grain mustard
- Heat grill to medium-high. Place the potatoes in a large pot, add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches, and bring to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons salt, reduce heat, and simmer until just tender (around 12-15 minutes). Drain and run under cold water to cool.
- While potatoes cook, brush leeks with 2 teaspoons oil, then place on the grill cut sides down, covered, until charred and nearly tender (around 5 minutes). Turn and cook for 2 more minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover and let sit for at least 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine lemon zest, pepper flakes, vinegar, mustard, 3 tablespoons of oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper.
- Halve potatoes, or quarter if large. Chop leeks and toss with vinaigrette, then fold in potatoes. Serve and enjoy your delicious BBQ Grilled Leek Potato Side Salad!
