My Potato Salad with Olive Vinaigrette is as simple and delicious as side dishes get.  The only cooking required is boiling red new potatoes until tender, topping the sliced potatoes with a tangy mustard vinaigrette, followed by your favorite array of mixed olives.  Simply buy a container of your favorite olives from your local supermarket’s olive bar and away you go!  The tender, buttery potatoes soak up the flavorful vinaigrette which all pairs perfectly with the briny mix of olives.
