This hearty salad brings together the creamy texture of potatoes, the smoky flavor of crispy bacon, and the richness of eggs, all brought together with a refreshing lemon-dill mayonnaise dressing. Let's dive into preparing this appetizing dish!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are tender (about 10-15 minutes). You can check tenderness by piercing with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool.
- While the potatoes are cooking, place the eggs in a separate saucepan.
- Cover the eggs with cold water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat, cover it, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
- Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the bacon strips from the skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
- Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and the juice of half a lemon.
- Add chopped fresh dill and stir well to combine.
- Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, and crumbled bacon to the bowl with the dressing.
- Gently mix until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- For best results, cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled as a side dish for your favorite main course.
Tips:
- For a healthier option, substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- To add more crunch, consider including chopped celery or red onion.
- For a touch of color, garnish the salad with freshly chopped chives or parsley.
- Make sure the bacon is crispy and well-drained to avoid adding excess grease to the salad.
- Boil the potatoes until tender but still firm to ensure they hold their shape in the salad.
