Feta Mint and Potato Salad with a Herb Mustard Dressing

As it is only me and paulie in the house (apart from 2 fur babies) if we have new potatoes for dinner we don’t eat a whole bag. I cook all of them and use them in salads. This salad was yummy and really summery. I love feta and mint together, the flavours work so…
