Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt, bring to a boil, and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
While the potatoes are cooling, dice the Granny Smith apple into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl of water with a splash of lemon juice to prevent browning.
Slice the celery stalks into thin pieces and finely dice the red onion.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Chop the parsley finely and set aside for garnish.
Once the potatoes have cooled, cut them into halves (or quarters if large) and add them to the mixing bowl with the dressing.
Drain the apple pieces and add them to the bowl along with the celery and red onion. Toss gently to combine and ensure all ingredients are coated in the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish, sprinkle with the chopped parsley, and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
