Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Baby potatoes
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
- 2 stalks Celery stalks
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook; they should hold their shape.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely dice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, celery stalks, and red onion. Chop the parsley as well and set aside.
Once the potatoes are done, drain them in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Allow them to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Add the cooled potatoes, diced vegetables, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to suit your preference.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled.
