A creamy, tangy, and hearty gluten-free potato salad perfect for summer BBQs and gatherings. This recipe balances fresh herbs and a light dressing for a nostalgic yet fresh side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and halved
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free mayonnaise (Best Foods or Hellmann’s recommended)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt as substitute)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chives, snipped thin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

Instructions

  1. Place the baby Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-18 minutes. Drain in a colander and let cool for 10 minutes.
  2. While the potatoes are cooling, combine the gluten-free mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  3. Finely dice the celery and red onion. Snip the fresh dill and chives thinly. If using, chop the hard-boiled eggs.
  4. Once potatoes have cooled but are still slightly warm, place them in a large bowl. Add the chopped veggies, herbs, and eggs. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently fold everything together with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  5. Refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour before serving. Just before serving, give it one last gentle stir and taste for seasoning.

Notes

Do not overcook potatoes to avoid mushy texture. Soak diced onions in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow sharpness if desired. Chill salad for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld. If dressing is too thick after chilling, stir in a teaspoon of water or extra vinegar to loosen. Gently fold salad to keep potato chunks intact.
