Ingredients
1 kg red potatoes, cut into quarters
1/4 cup plain Greek natural yoghurt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tablespoons honey
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 stalks celery, finely chopped
3 green onions, finely chopped
4 hard boiled eggs, roughly chopped
2 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Place potatoes in a large pot and add cold water until it covers the potatoes by about 2 inches. Over a high heat, bring the potatoes to the boil for 8-10 minutes, until they are tender to pierce with a fork, but not too soft. Drain and set aside to cool.
To make the dressing, combine the yoghurt, olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl, whisking until smooth.
Transfer the cooled potatoes to a large mixing bowl and add in the celery, onion, chopped eggs and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Mix in the dressing, gently stirring until well combined.
Pour into a serving dish and garnish with remaining parsley. The salad can be served immediately or made up to 2 days ahead and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
