This creamy potato salad made with rainbow potatoes, celery, pickles, and dill is lightened up using half mayonnaise, half yogurt. Perfect for picnics and backyard parties all summer long

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds multi-color baby potatoes
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup 2% Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup olive oil mayonnaise, or light mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 ½ teaspoon fresh dill
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 dill pickle spear, finely chopped
  • 1 medium celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 2 small green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon pickle juice

Instructions

  • Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Boil for 10-15 minutes, or until fork tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, 1 teaspoon dill, pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • When potatoes are cool enough to handle, set aside half. Peel the other half by gently pinching the skin and pulling it away. Place peeled potatoes in a medium bowl and mash with a potato masher. Dice the remaining potatoes into 1-inch cubes and add to the bowl with the mashed potatoes.
  • Add pickle, celery, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and all but 1 tablespoon of the green onion. Add the yogurt mixture and pickle juice to the potatoes and toss gently to evenly coat. Garnish with remaining dill and green onion.
