Ingredients

FOR THE POTATO SALAD

  • 2 lbs Red Skinned Potatoes cut into bite sized chunks
  • 3 Hard Boiled Eggs chopped
  • 2 Celery Ribs diced (~1 cup)
  • 1 Shallot thinly sliced
  • ½ cup Green Onion chopped
  • ¼ cup Fresh Herbs (I used Parsley and Dill) chopped
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

FOR THE CREAMY HOMEMADE DRESSING

  • ½ cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 Clove Garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ½ Lemon juiced
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Pepper
  • ¼ tsp Paprika
  • ¼ tsp Oregano

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. You can add some salt here, if desired. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Careful not to overcook as they will fall apart if too tender.
