Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (0.9 kg) small red or Yukon gold potatoes
- 3 hard-boiled eggs (chopped)
- 2 stalks celery (finely chopped)
- 1 small red onion (finely chopped)
Dressing Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Submerge whole potatoes in a large pot of boiling water, cooking until fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes at high heat.
- Drain potatoes and allow them to cool slightly, then dice into uniform bite-sized cubes.
- Whisk together creamy Greek yogurt, tangy Dijon mustard, zesty apple cider vinegar, rich olive oil, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Fold chopped potatoes, crisp celery, pungent red onion, fragrant fresh dill, vibrant parsley, and crumbled hard-boiled eggs into the yogurt-based dressing.
- Gently toss ingredients until each potato piece is evenly and generously coated with the creamy mixture.
- Refrigerate the salad for a minimum of 60 minutes, allowing the flavors to harmonize and intensify before serving.
- Prior to serving, give the salad a gentle stir to redistribute the dressing and ensure optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Select waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for better texture and less falling apart during cooking.
- Use Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative to traditional mayonnaise, reducing calories and adding protein.
- Rinse chopped onions in cold water to reduce sharp raw flavor and soften their bite in the salad.
- Consider adding extra crunch with chopped pickles or capers for unexpected flavor complexity.
