When the weather gets hot, I turn to cool and creamy salad recipes including refreshing cucumber salad, carrot salad, low carb cauliflower salad, and this delicious and fresh tasting dill potato salad. I happen to love fresh dill, especially when it’s featured in this dill potato salad. This recipe is packed full of flavor, but contains just a handful of ingredients, which means it’s simple to put together. Serve your potato salad with other summer time classics such as grilled chicken wings, churrasco, or smoked tri tip.
Dill Potato Salad Ingredients
This potato salad recipe is made with baby potatoes, celery, red onion, dill, mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt and black pepper.
How Do You Make Dill Potato Salad?
Start by boiling small potatoes under fork-tender in a large pot, then drain them and cut them into halves or quarters. Place the potatoes in a large bowl along with diced red onion, celery and fresh dill. In another bowl, whisk together mayo, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and vegetables, then stir gently to combine. Garnish with more dill if desired, then serve and enjoy.
Tips For the Perfect Dish
Fresh dill is a must-have for this recipe. Dried dill just does not have the same intensity of flavor. Light mayonnaise will work just as well as regular mayonnaise for this salad dressing. You can prepare this salad up to 8 hours before you plan to serve it. Leftovers will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve dill potato salad as a side dish along with grilled chicken, steak or pork chops. I like to mince my red onion and celery into very small pieces to add a little bit of crunch to the salad. You can use red or Yukon Gold potatoes, whichever you prefer will work just fine! The cooked potatoes should be at room temperature before they are made into salad.
Dill Potato Salad Flavor Variations
While this salad is fabulous as-is, you can add many different ingredients to make your own creation.
Protein: Make it a main course by adding hard boiled eggs, cooked crumbled bacon or diced chicken. Vegetables: Add more veggies such as red bell peppers, cucumber, baby spinach leaves or even avocado. Flavorings: Try mixing in some diced dill pickles, sliced olives, sriracha, or even sun dried tomatoes. Dressing: Swap out some of the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing.
Once you see how good this dill potato salad is, you’ll find yourself making it on a regular basis!
