A quick and fresh no-boil potato salad recipe that is tender yet firm, bursting with bright, fresh flavors. Perfect for summer picnics and weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds (700 grams) baby potatoes (red or yellow varieties preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 stalk celery, finely diced
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and rinse 1.5 pounds (700 grams) of baby potatoes under cold water to remove dirt. Pat dry with a kitchen towel. No peeling needed.
  2. Steam the potatoes in a steamer basket over boiling water for 12-15 minutes until tender but still firm when pierced with a fork. Alternatively, microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway.
  3. Let the potatoes cool for about 5 minutes, then slice into halves or quarters depending on size.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, ¼ cup (60 ml) Greek yogurt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and salt & pepper to taste until smooth and creamy.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 3 thinly sliced scallions, and 1 finely diced celery stalk.
  6. Add the warm potato pieces to the bowl and gently fold them into the dressing, ensuring every piece is coated.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or vinegar if needed. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

Do not overcook potatoes to avoid mushiness. Toss potatoes while warm to absorb dressing flavors better. Use gentle folding to keep potatoes intact. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor. Avoid freezing due to yogurt and fresh herbs.
