Rana’s Notes!
If you want to pre-make this Mediterranean potato salad for easy meal prep, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving, give it a quick stir and add more dressing if needed. If you plan to store it longer, we recommend leaving out the fresh herbs and adding them right before serving. This salad is perfect for taking to work, school, or picnics, making it a great option for meal prepping.
