Light Potato Salad

David Venable

Looking for a healthier potato salad recipe? Look no further! My Light Potato Salad gets creaminess from Greek yogurt, and tanginess from lemon, vinegar, and fresh onion.

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs red bliss potatoes, cut into 1-1/2” pieces
  • 2-1/4 tsp salt, divided
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1-1/4 cups nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp yellow mustard
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 1/2 small white onion, finely chopped
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, cut into small wedges
  • 2 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley

Directions

Place the potatoes in a large stock pot and fill with tap water, covering the potatoes by 3”. Add 1-1/4 tsp salt and stir. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until just fork tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain the potatoes, run them under cold tap water to cool them, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, Place the remaining 1 tsp salt, black pepper, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, nonfat Greek yogurt, mustard, chopped celery, and onions and stir until combined. Add the cooked potatoes, eggs, and parsley and gently stir until the potatoes are fully coated with the yogurt mixture.
Place in the refrigerator and chill completely before serving, at least 5 hours.

Cook's Notes

The beauty of potato salad is that it only gets better with time. Let this sit in the refrigerator overnight to really let the flavors marry.
