Peel the potato (if desired) and dice it into bite-sized chunks.
Place the diced potato in a small pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender.
While the potato cooks, finely chop the celery, parsley, and green onion.
Once the potato is cooked, drain it and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
Add the cooled potato chunks, chopped celery, parsley, and green onion into the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Enjoy!
