Description
This Red Potato Salad combines creamy red potatoes, crunchy veggies, and a tangy, herbed dressing for a vibrant, crowd-pleasing side perfect for picnics or dinners.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1/2 small red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Slice red potatoes into bite-sized pieces and place in a large pot with salted cold water. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 12–15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.
- Dice celery and red onion, and finely chop fresh dill. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Add cooled potatoes to the bowl and gently fold in celery, red onion, and dill. Stir carefully to avoid breaking the potatoes. Chill for at least one hour before serving.

- Pairs well with grilled meats, summer vegetables, or as a picnic side.
- Serve in lettuce cups, mason jars, or atop a veggie-lined platter for a creative touch.
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days; flavors improve with time.
- Do not freeze; best enjoyed fresh or chilled.
- Serve cold or at room temperature—no reheating necessary.
