Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 0.5 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 celery stalks
- 3 green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and cut the red potatoes into bite-sized chunks, leaving the skin on for added flavor and nutrition.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 12-15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool to room temperature.
While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing by mixing the low-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Chop the fresh dill, celery stalks, and green onions. Add them to the dressing and stir to combine.
Once the potatoes have cooled, place them in a large salad bowl.
Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to coat all the potato pieces evenly.
Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the potato salad chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh dill if desired.
