Chive Pesto Potato Salad Recipe (2024)

A phenomenal pairing with salmon. I added a little more garlic and a little less parsley—no chives. It came out delicious. Love the idea of adding green beans at the end of boiling potatoes. It was also very easy to prepare.

I made this for dinner last night with green beans and we enjoyed it. I made early in afternoon and then set it out before dinner to come to room temperature. Unlike other commentators I would use less garlic next time. Also, next time I will add some grape tomatoes to mix in with it as I think that would have been good. It's a keeper for me.

Delicious. Made as directed with asparagus and served with seared tuna. Might omit the Parm next time and add an extra squeeze of lemon for something slightly brighter with a bit more zing.

If you can find garlic scapes at your farmer's market, they would be a lovely substitute for the chives. As a young cook, I once made a very large batch of potato salad (olive oil base) and left it overnight on the counter. Reader, it was moldy the next day. Keep cold things cool, hot things warm.

I always steam potatoes for a salad; never soggy as a result.

Very good as made! Next time I might add a little bit of dijon mustard....

Delicious. I used baby "creamer" potatoes from Costco and added a heaping handful of fresh mint leaves and lemon zest to the parsley pesto, and subbed walnuts for the pinenuts. Otherwise followed the recipe. Am bringing to a work potluck, otherwise would have doubled the garlic!!

Excellent. Added extra garlic to it. Will do it again.

I used roasted almonds since I didn’t have pine nuts on hand. Very good, and I’ll likely make it that way again. I put in 2 lbs. of potato—given the amount of dressing I had, I’d make it 2 1/2 pounds next time. I had fresh parsley and chives from my herb garden and it really makes a difference to have straight from the garden herbs! I put the potatoes and green beans in my Instant Pot and they turned out perfectly. It also saves some steps and time, as well as not heating up the kitchen.

You can sub water for oil when you make the pesto. Taste as you go to figure out the balance that works best for you. When I make pesto I use cashews as well to sub out as much oil as possible grinding them into the the sauce. They add a nice balance since they embody a bit of sweetness. Also, you might consider using cilantro instead or with parsley. : )

I think next time I will add less olive oil, found that it kind of doubled the flavor a bit. When I tasted the pesto, when it only had the garlic, the parsley and the pinenuts, it was full of zing, but as I added the oil it got more and more gym.dim

It was a nice change from the usual dressing . not fantastic, but quite ok. make sure your potatoes are well cooked. Mine were too crunchy so I had to boil them again.

This was a huge hit as a Christmas side dish. The parsley pesto is wonderful.

Very tasty! It feels like a great dish to bring to an afternoon party!Next time- I'd use less EVOO or just olive oil instead, and I can't believe I am saying this- but less garlic? I want the taste of the cheese, parsley, and onions to come through a bit more.

Made it with asparagus. Added a bit of sour cream and lemon juice. Paired it with wiener schnitzel. Delicious.

Extra garlic, add lemon zest, make sure to super salt the water.

This was a fun and delicious potato salad to make. I love all the herbs. If I made it again, I would see if I could make it with a little less olive oil.

I made a half recipe of this very delicious potato salad with green beans, but did a whole version of the parsley pesto. I used half the pesto on the salad and saved the rest in the fridge. Tonight, it topped simply grilled boneless skinless chicken thighs. Delicious. Seriously. Make the salad, but know that this pesto can stand on its own.

Made with basil instead of parsley and with the green beans. Flavorful and easy summer side salad.

The only substitution I made was half basil and half parsley. I just didn't have enough parsley in my garden. It was phenomenal and everybody who had some loved it.

This was one of the best dishes I’ve ever made. We did this with asparagus. I do not like pine nuts so subbed in walnuts. Added an extra squeeze of lemon. Holy cow so very flavorful and delicious.

The green beans are the best bite! Super tasty. Paired very well with slow roasted pork shoulder. Used a hand blender and grated garlic, didn’t quite use all the oil.

What can you substitute for the Parmesan cheese if you don't eat dairy products (or meat)?

Made it successfully with pre-made Chimichurri sauce (which is more of a cilantro pesto) instead of of the parsely-chive-Parmesan blend — it turned out well.

Excellent. Used green beans, parsley, chives from our garden. Added some chopped tomatoes on top.

Second time I've made this now, great recipe! Kay Chun's recipes are easy-going and great for whipping up a table full of bowls to share.

Made this for a family gathering and it was a hit!
