Ingredients

🥔 2 pounds baby potatoes
🧅 1 small red onion
🥬 2 stalks of celery
🌿 1 bunch dill
🌿 ½ bunch parsley
🥣 1 cup mayonnaise
🥄 2 heaping tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
🟡 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
🥒 2 tablespoons sweet relish
🍋 Juice of half a lemon
🧂 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
⚫ 1 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

1- Prepare the Potatoes:

Start by placing the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 25 minutes. Once done, drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Cut the cooled potatoes in half.

2- Chop the Vegetables and Herbs:

While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the red onion and celery.
For the herbs, chop the dill and parsley finely.
These will add a fresh burst of flavor to your salad.

3- Make the Creamy Dressing:

In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), Dijon mustard, and sweet relish.
Add the lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper.
Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated to create a creamy dressing.

4- Assemble the Salad:

In a large bowl, add the halved potatoes, chopped red onion, celery, dill, and parsley.
Pour the creamy dressing over the top and gently toss everything together until the potatoes and veggies are well-coated with the sauce.

5- Serve and Enjoy:

Once combined, the salad can be served immediately or chilled in the fridge for about an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Enjoy this salad as a refreshing side dish.
