Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
Place the potatoes in a small pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and let them cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the hard-boiled eggs. Place the eggs in a pot, cover them with water, and bring to a gentle boil. Cook for 9-10 minutes, then transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool before peeling and slicing into quarters.
Drain the canned tuna and flake it with a fork into bite-sized pieces.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves and rinse the baby spinach leaves, patting them dry.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the low-fat plain yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, tuna, cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach. Drizzle the dressing over the mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
Transfer the salad to a serving plate, top with the quartered hard-boiled eggs, and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, balanced meal!
