- potatoes – use waxy, thin-skinned yellow or red potatoes like Yukon gold or small red potatoes. They hold their shape well after cooking and won’t become mushy.
- red radish – finely sliced red radishes are crispy and add great freshness and flavor
- green onion – green onions are best for this recipe but red or yellow onion will work too
- olives – I used sliced black olives, green olives will also work
- Dijon mustard – it is needed for the dressing, it’s really delicious and not overpowering
