A fresh take on a picnic classic! This creamy dill potato salad features tender potatoes, crunchy veggies, and a tangy herb dressing, making it the perfect side dish for spring and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 2½ lbs baby red or Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered

  • ½ cup celery, finely chopped

  • ¼ cup red onion, finely diced

  • ¼ cup dill pickles, chopped (optional, for extra tang)

  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)

For the Dressing:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or pickle juice

  • 1 tsp honey or sugar (optional, to balance the tang)

  • ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Cook the Potatoes

  • Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water.

  • Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil.

  • Simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not mushy.

  • Drain and let cool slightly.

2. Make the Dressing

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), Dijon mustard, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

3. Combine the Salad

  • In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the warm potatoes with the celery, red onion, pickles (if using), and fresh dill.

  • Pour the dressing over the mixture and stir gently until everything is evenly coated.

4. Chill and Serve

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

  • Before serving, give it a gentle stir and top with more fresh dill for garnish.

Tips for Success

✔ Use baby or waxy potatoes—they hold their shape and stay creamy inside.

✔ Let the potatoes cool slightly before adding dressing to prevent it from becoming too thin.

✔ Make it ahead—this salad tastes even better the next day!

✔ Add hard-boiled eggs for a heartier version.

This Creamy Dill Potato Salad is a seasonal favorite that pairs perfectly with grilled dishes, sandwiches, or veggie-packed mains—and it reflects Bay City Cooperative Market’s focus on fresh, local, and delicious food made with simple ingredients. 🥔🌿💚
