Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and coat with the olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and tender. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the salad greens, tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, basil, parsley, and mint. In a separate bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey, dijon mustard, and extra-virgin olive oil. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
Once the potatoes have cooled, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Add the potatoes to the salad and toss to combine. Serve the salad and potatoes immediately.
