A basic potato salad recipe gets a flavor boost with the incorporation of fresh parsley and dill pickles. The dressing’s creamy but light, and is made with Greek yogurt, reduced-fat mayo, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of Dijon mustard. Tossing the red potatoes with the dressing while they're still warm allows the potatoes to absorb the dressing so much better. You can also personalize this potato salad with your favorite herbs: tarragon and/or dill are especially great additions. This is a versatile recipe to help encourage you to eat more veggies; try adding a handful of cut green beans to the cooking water 5 minutes before the potatoes will be done.
