This is an easy-to-make grilled baby potato salad that has a tart dressing that uses fresh lemon juice and whole grain mustard. This flavor profile helps it pair well with rich fatty meats or bring a fresh element to have meals.
Don’t be tempted to skip the parboil step and try to cook all the way through on the grill. This creates wrinkled tough skins by the time the center is cooked. Cutting them in half exposes the flesh to the dressing which sucks it in to help get a richer flavor.
The Bold and Beefy seasoning helps bring depth to the salad with one ingredient rather than carrying salt, pepper, garlic powder, and other seasonings. It can be swapped out for a herb blend, a more traditional barbecue rub, or even a fajita seasoning.
