Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs red potatoes, cubed
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by washing the red potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Once clean, cut the potatoes into uniform cubes, about 1-inch in size, to ensure even cooking.
- Fill a large pot with water and add a generous pinch of salt. Place the cubed potatoes into the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- Once the water reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. You can test this by piercing a potato cube with a fork; it should slide in easily.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and well blended.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them cool for a few minutes. It’s important to allow them to cool slightly to prevent the dressing from curdling.
- After the potatoes have cooled, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped fresh dill to the potatoes, followed by the prepared yogurt dressing.
- Gently toss the potatoes, dill, and dressing together until the potatoes are evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the potatoes; you want them to remain intact.
- Once everything is combined, taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the Healthy Red Potato and Dill Salad warm, at room temperature, or chilled. It can be garnished with a few extra sprigs of dill for presentation if desired.
- This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, fish, or as a light lunch option on its own. Enjoy your healthy and delicious creation!
Tips
- Choose the right potatoes: Look for firm, waxy red potatoes with smooth skin for the best texture.
- Don't overcook the potatoes - aim for fork-tender but not mushy. Start checking at the 10-minute mark.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before adding the dressing to prevent curdling and maintain the creamy consistency.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a minced garlic clove or some chopped chives to the dressing.
- This salad tastes even better after sitting for an hour, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for a quick and healthy meal prep option.
- For a protein boost, try adding some grilled chicken or hard-boiled eggs to make it a complete meal.
