A light and tangy potato salad made without mayo, featuring a creamy honey Dijon dressing with Greek yogurt for a fresh twist on a classic side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, minced
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. Rinse 2 pounds of baby Yukon Gold potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Place them whole in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least an inch. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart.
  2. Drain the potatoes in a colander and rinse briefly with cold water to stop cooking. Let them cool slightly until comfortable to handle.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The dressing should be smooth and slightly thick but pourable.
  4. Finely dice 1 small red onion and soak in cold water for 5 minutes if you prefer milder flavor. Drain well. Chop 1 stalk of celery and mince 2 tablespoons fresh chives (plus optional herbs if using).
  5. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them in halves or quarters depending on size, then place in a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped celery, onion, chives, and any optional herbs. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to coat everything evenly without breaking up the potatoes.
  6. Taste the salad and add more salt, pepper, or honey if needed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and the salad chill through.
  7. Before serving, give the salad a gentle toss and sprinkle with a few extra fresh herbs for garnish if you like. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Do not overcook the potatoes to keep them firm and avoid mushiness. Soaking the red onion in cold water reduces sharpness. Let the salad chill for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. For dairy-free or vegan versions, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or plant-based yogurt and honey with maple syrup.
