Vibrant, tangy, and irresistibly creamy, Pink Potato Salad is a delightful twist on the classic crowd-pleaser thatβs perfect for picnics, potlucks, and family dinners. Featuring tender red-skinned potatoes tossed in a luscious dressing made with pickled beet juice, mayonnaise, and sour cream, this salad gets its signature rosy hue from the beet juice infusion. Crispy celery, tangy dill pickles, and zesty Dijon mustard add layers of flavor and texture, while hard-boiled eggs lend a satisfying richness. Finished with fresh dill for a pop of herbal brightness, this visually stunning potato salad is easy to prepare in under an hour and guarantees to wow both your eyes and taste buds. Serve chilled for the ultimate refreshing side dish.
Wash and scrub the red-skinned potatoes. Chop them into bite-sized pieces while keeping the skins on.
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover them with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the vegetables. Dice the celery stalks, finely chop the red onion, and chop the dill pickles.
Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes with celery, red onion, pickles, and eggs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, pickled beet juice, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently stir to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the pink hue to fully develop.
Serve chilled and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh dill, if desired.
