Ingredients:

4 potatoes
800g
1 cup peas
120g
1 stalk celery
130g
1 tbsp dill
16g
1/3 cup greek yogurt
80g
1/3 cup mayonnaise
72g
2 tsp lemon juice
10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the potatoes completely.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Set them aside to cool completely.
2. Cook the Peas:
- While the potatoes are cooking, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the peas and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender but still bright green.
- Drain the peas and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set them aside to cool.
3. Prepare the Celery:
- Wash the celery stalk thoroughly and trim off the ends.
- Cut the celery into thin slices.
4. Make the Dressing:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and freshly chopped dill. Stir until all the ingredients are well mixed.
- Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Assemble the Salad:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potato cubes, cooked peas, and sliced celery.
- Pour the yogurt dressing over the potato mixture. Gently toss everything together until the potatoes, peas, and celery are evenly coated with the dressing.
6. Chill and Serve:
- Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, give the salad a final gentle stir, and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Tips:

- Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Potatoes for the best texture. They hold their shape better than starchy potatoes when boiled.

- Chill the salad in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the salad to become even more delicious.

- If you prefer a tangier dressing, you can add an extra teaspoon of lemon juice or a splash of apple cider vinegar.

- For added freshness, consider adding some chopped spring onions or chives on top just before serving.

- If you want a bit more color and variety, you can also add some finely diced bell peppers or shredded carrots to the salad.

And there you have it—a simple yet delicious Potato and Celery Salad with Yoghurt Dressing that will delight your taste buds and impress your guests. Whether you're serving it at a family gathering or a casual lunch, this salad is sure to be a hit. Remember to experiment with the tips to make the recipe truly your own. Enjoy!
