Wash the baby red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to simmer. Cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, finely slice the red onion, and cut the Kalamata olives in half. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley and dill finely and set aside.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Add the slightly cooled potatoes to the mixing bowl with the vegetables. Gently toss to combine.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and toss again until evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Crumble feta cheese over the salad and sprinkle with the chopped parsley and dill.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your Greek Potato Salad II!
