Ingredients

  • 10 small red potatoes, scrubbed

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ cup dry white wine

  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 6 tablespoons pesto, or more to taste

  • 1 small red onion, finely sliced, or to taste

Directions

  1. Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with lightly salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool until easily handled, 5 to 10 minutes.

  2. Peel potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt. Add white wine, olive oil, and lemon juice; toss lightly to combine.

  3. Mix mayonnaise and pesto together in a small bowl. Pour over potato salad and toss gently. Garnish with red onion. Chill until serving.
