Description

Creamy potato salad celebrates fresh Mediterranean ingredients with a light, nutritious twist. Greek yogurt and herb-infused dressing make this classic side dish both delicious and nourishing for you.


Ingredients

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

  1. Submerge whole potatoes in a large pot of boiling water, cooking until fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes at high heat.
  2. Drain potatoes and allow them to cool slightly, then dice into uniform bite-sized cubes.
  3. 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.
  4. Fold chopped potatoes, crisp celery, pungent red onion, fragrant fresh dill, vibrant parsley, and crumbled hard-boiled eggs into the yogurt-based dressing.
  5. Gently toss ingredients until each potato piece is evenly and generously coated with the creamy mixture.
  6. Refrigerate the salad for a minimum of 60 minutes, allowing the flavors to harmonize and intensify before serving.
  7. 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.
