Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- Wash the celery stalk thoroughly and trim off the ends.
- Cut the celery into thin slices.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Yogurt 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!
