Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by washing the potatoes to remove any dirt. Cut them into uniform halves or quarters.
  2. Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and let cool slightly.
  3. While the potatoes are cooling, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the cooled potatoes with Kalamata olives, green olives, and feta cheese. Sprinkle in parsley and dill, then drizzle the dressing over the salad.
  5. Carefully toss everything together and adjust seasoning if needed. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or serve immediately.
