Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on is also fine and can add texture to the salad.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover them. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes cook until they are tender when pierced with a fork (about 15-20 minutes).
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool down completely.
- In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and mustard.
- Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined and you have a smooth dressing.
- While the potatoes are cooling, finely chop the celery stalk.
- Roughly chop the watercress and spearmint leaves.
- Once the potatoes are cooled, cut them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the chopped celery, watercress, and spearmint to the bowl with the potatoes.
- Pour the yogurt dressing over the salad ingredients.
- Gently toss everything together until the potatoes and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish.
- Optionally, you can garnish the salad with a few whole watercress leaves or a sprinkle of chopped spearmint for an extra touch of color and freshness.
- Serve the potato and celery salad as a side dish or a light main course. It's perfect for picnics, barbecues, or a healthy lunch!
Tips:
- Boil the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy to maintain their texture in the salad.
- Chop the celery into small, bite-sized pieces for even distribution throughout the salad.
- Use Greek yogurt for a thicker and creamier dressing that clings well to the potatoes and celery.
- Adjust the amount of lemon juice and mustard to suit your taste preferences.
- Chill the salad for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish with fresh watercress and a few mint leaves just before serving for a fresh and vibrant presentation.
With its combination of crisp celery, creamy potatoes, and a tangy yogurt dressing, this Potato and Celery Salad is a versatile dish that complements any main course. Easy to prepare and packed with flavor, it's sure to become a favorite at gatherings and family dinners. Enjoy the refreshing and satisfying taste of this healthy salad!
