# What You Need:
→ Potatoes
01 - 1.5 lbs baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into bite-size pieces
→ Dressing
02 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (whole or low-fat)
03 - 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
04 - 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar

11 - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
12 - 2 tbsp chives, chopped (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 12–15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
03 - Add the warm potatoes to the dressing and gently toss to coat.
04 - Fold in the celery, red onion, dill, parsley, and chives (if using).
05 - Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Chill for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld.
06 - Serve cold or at room temperature, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The creamy dressing feels indulgent but wont weigh you down like traditional mayo-based salads
- Fresh herbs and crunchy vegetables create layers of texture that keep people coming back for seconds
02 -
- Adding the dressing while potatoes are still warm helps them absorb more flavor, but wait until they are not piping hot to avoid curdling the yogurt
- The salad tastes significantly better after at least 30 minutes of chilling, so plan ahead and do not rush this crucial step
03 -
- Cutting your potatoes into uniform sizes ensures they all cook at the same rate, preventing some from becoming mushy while others remain underdone
- Fresh herbs make a noticeable difference here, so avoid dried versions which can taste dusty and lack the bright pop that makes this salad special
