Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced or diced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
- Cut the slightly cooled potatoes into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and toss gently to coat them evenly.
- Add chopped celery, red onion, parsley, and dill. Mix well.
- Let the salad rest for at least 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
Notes
- Use thin-skinned potatoes so peeling is optional.
- Make ahead and refrigerate for deeper flavor.
- Add extra herbs or veggies to customize.
- Best served cold or at room temperature; no reheating needed.
