Healthy Potato Salad
This potato salad is great for summer parties and potlucks as it is such a crowd pleaser! It’s crunchy, creamy, tangy and herby and so delicious without being too heavy. Since this is a Greek yogurt-based dressing and has hard boiled eggs, it’s also full of protein, so you can feel good about serving it.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs. red potatoes, skin on, chopped (~6-7 potatoes)
- 3 large hard boiled eggs, grated or chopped (see recipe*)
- 1/2 cup celery, diced ( ~2 ribs)
- 1/2 cup green bell peppers, diced (~1/2 bell pepper)
- 1/3 cup pickles, or relish, diced
- 1/3 cup red onion, diced
- 2 Tbsp. fresh dill, chopped
- 2 Tbsp. parsley, chopped
- 2 Tbsp. chives, chopped
For the dressing:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup lemon juice, fresh
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1/2 tsp. cumin
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
Instructions
- Boil potatoes and eggs together: Add chopped potatoes and eggs to a large pot and cover with enough water to have an inch of water covering everything. Remove the eggs after boiling for 15 minutes place in a bowl with water and ice. Check potatoes to see if they are fork tender. If not, let them cook for about 5ish minutes.
- Make the dressing next: combine all the dressing ingredients in a medium sized bowl or large measuring cup, and stir until combined.
- Drain the potatoes and rinse with cold water. Cool slightly.
- While potatoes are cooling, gather your chopped veggies and herbs and place in a large bowl. Peel the eggs and either grate them using a cheese grater or chop them. (I like to grate them!)
- Add the veggies, herbs, eggs, potatoes and dressing into a large bowl and gently stir.
- You can serve immediately, or chill for a minimum of 1 hour for a cold potato salad.

Notes
- You can chop the potatoes into even smaller pieces after they have boiled if you prefer.
- How to grate the eggs: cut hard boiled egg in half. Place the egg yolk side on the large grate holes and grate.
