New Potato Salad with Sauteed Onion Vinaigrette

This one is an old Bon Appetit recipe which I love. It's a great side dish that complements anything you serve it with.

The only change I make is to use lemon instead of balsamic vinegar. I don't like the color of it mixed with the potatoes, and lemon is tangier and tastier for me.

You can also add cumin seeds to the dressing. Use 1 tablespoon cumin seeds. Toast cumin seeds in heavy small skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Cool. Using spice grinder, coarsely grind cumin seeds. And then add to the dressing.

I also add the cucumbers into the salad rather than serving it on the side of it. Enjoy:)
