Beat-the-Heat Potato Salad

Beat-the-Heat Potato Salad
This European-style potato salad is light and bright, laced with vinegar and oil and tumbled with handfuls of fresh herbs. Lynda Balslev for Tastefood

This is my “I can’t deal” potato salad. (It’s also my favorite potato salad.)

In the heat of the summer, when it’s too hot to move, it’s nice to have a few easy recipes to rely on when you simply can’t cope with cooking. These recipes hit the spot without making you sweat unnecessarily over a stove; they can be prepared in just a few steps. They are minimal, fresh, and light, and won’t make you feel heavy and weighed down once you’ve enjoyed eating them.
