Ingredients

  • 1 lbs petite red gourmet potatoes
  • ⅔ cup celery chopped
  • 3 eggs
  • 6-8 talks fresh dill chopped
  • ½ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon pepper
  • 2 tbsp light Mayo
  • 5.3 oz Two Good lemon Greek yogurt (can use plain)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat 3 cups of water in a large sauce pot and bring to a boil. You’re going to use the water for both the eggs and the potatoes. 
  2. Once the water is boiled, add 3 eggs. Boil for 7 minutes. Remove the eggs but leave the water boiling. Run the eggs under cool water or dunk them in the ice bath to quickly cool them and then peel off the shell.
  3. Then add the Petite Red Gourmet Potatoes to the already boiling water. Boil for 10-15 minutes.
  4. While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the rest of the salad ingredients. Finely chop celery, hard boiled eggs and herbs. Tip: use a pizza cutter to quickly and easily chop the herbs. 
  5. After the potatoes are cooked, drain the water and slice each potato in quarters. 
  6. Then in a large mixing bowl, use a rubber spatula to mix together lemon yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, lemon pepper, fresh dill and parsley. Then add in diced potatoes, celery, and eggs. Stir until all of the ingredients are coated in the yogurt dressing mixture. 

Notes

  • I prefer the potatoes still firm. It makes for a crunchier salad. If you’d like the potatoes softer, boil for 15-20 minutes.

  • Serve hot, cold, or room temperature (my preference).
  • You can store this salad in the fridge for up to 5 days. I actually think it gets better as it sits because the potatoes soak up the lemon and mayo and the flavors really develop making it fabulous for meal prep.
