Ingredients

  • 2 pounds red potatoes
  • 0.75 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 0.25 cups low sodium mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 medium, finely chopped celery stalks
  • 0.5 small, finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large, chopped hard-boiled eggs

Directions

Step 1

Start by thoroughly washing the red potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks for an even cooking process.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the potatoes until they are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a fork into the potatoes; they should be easily pierced.

Step 3

Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and run cold water over them to stop further cooking. Allow the potatoes to cool completely.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, low sodium mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and red wine vinegar. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the cooled potatoes to the bowl along with the finely chopped celery, red onion, and fresh parsley.

Step 6

Gently fold the ingredients together until the potatoes are well coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Season the potato salad with black pepper, keeping in mind that it should remain low sodium, and adjust the seasoning according to taste.

Step 8

Garnish with the chopped hard-boiled eggs, gently mixing them into the salad or sprinkling them on top for presentation.

Step 9

Cover the salad and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Before serving, give the potato salad a light stir and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Enjoy your healthy, low sodium Classic Red Potato Salad as a delightful side dish for any meal!
