Instructions

Boil the Potatoes: Start by washing and chopping the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a pot of salted boiling water and cook until just tender but not falling apart, typically about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool completely.
Prepare the Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the cooled potatoes into the dressing. Add finely chopped red onion and fresh herbs, stirring carefully to evenly coat the potatoes without mashing them.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve chilled or at room temperature for best taste.

Notes

Use waxy potatoes like red or Yukon gold to avoid a mushy texture.
Ensure potatoes are fully cooled before mixing to prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
Add fresh herbs just before serving for vibrant color and flavor.
Adjust the amount of Greek yogurt to achieve your preferred creaminess.
Taste and season gradually to get the perfect balance of flavors.
