Ingredients
- •2 lbs Red potatoes
- •4 cups Mixed greens
- •0.75 cup Mayonnaise
- •1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- •2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- •1 medium Cucumber
- •3 stalks Celery
- •0.5 cup Red onion
- •3 tablespoons Olive oil
- •3 pieces Hard boiled eggs
- •2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- •0.25 cup Pickles
- •1 tsp Paprika
- •1 tsp Salt
- •2 tbsp Chives
Instructions
- 1
Boil potatoes until tender but still firm
💡 Dont overcook
- 2
Allow ingredients to cool slightly, then peel and cut into uniform bite-sized cubes for even cooking.
💡 Uniform cutting ensures everything cooks at the same rate - size matters.
- 3
While potatoes cook, make the dressing: whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, apple cider vinegar, celery, red onion, and fresh dill in a large bowl.
💡 The dressing should be tangy enough to brighten the rich mayonnaise - taste and adjust as needed.
- 4
Mix mayo, mustard, salt
💡 Work methodically. Attention to detail separates home cooking from restaurant quality.
- 5
Fold the warm potatoes into the dressing while still slightly warm - this allows them to absorb more flavor. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
💡 Warm potatoes absorb dressing better than cold ones, resulting in more flavorful salad.
- 6
Transfer to a large bowl and toss thoroughly with the dressing or sauce until everything is evenly coated.
💡 Tossing ensures every piece is dressed equally - do not be shy with the mixing.
- 7
Garnish with paprika and chives
💡 Chill before serving
