MAKES 6 SERVINGS (Serving Size: approx. 1 cup) INGREDIENTS

[NOTE: If making a gluten free dish, please check all your ingredients to ensure that none contain gluten!] 2 lbs red (or red new) potatoes, cut into evenly sized bite size pieces 1 1/2 tsp table salt 3 TBSP sweet gherkins pickle juice, divided 1/4 cup (approx. 3 mini pickles) finely chopped sweet gherkins pickles 1 TBSP yellow mustard 1/4 tsp ground black pepper 1/2 tsp celery seed 1/4 tsp dill 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup (or one 6oz single serving container) fat free greek yogurt 1 bunch green onions (scallions) 1 rib celery, chopped fine

[OPTIONAL: 2 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and diced --- not included in nutritional information]

DIRECTIONS

(1) (2)

Mix 2 TBSP pickle juice and mustard in a small bowl.

Place potatoes in a large saucepan with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Add 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender (approximately 10 minutes). DO NOT OVERCOOK THE POTATOES. They should be fork tender but still firm when you bite into them. The best way to test for doneness is to pierce the potato with a fork and then taste it.

( 3 ) Drain the potatoes thoroughly, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the pickle juice/mustard mixture, and toss until evenly coated. Spread into a single layer and refrigerate until cooled, approximately 30 minutes. (4)
To make the dressing, mix the remaining TBSP pickle juice, chopped pickles, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, pepper, celery seed, dill, mayonnaise, greek yogurt, onion and celery in a medium bowl. Place the cooled potatoes in a large bowl and pour the dressing mixture over the top. Gently stir well and refrigerate until well chilled (approximately 30 minutes). Gently stir in the hard-cooked eggs, if using, just before serving. Enjoy! VARIATION: add cubed cooked chicken and serve over a bed of arugula!
