- 700 g gourmet baby potatoes left whole and washed with skin on
- 1 cup natural Greek yogurt low or full fat
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- ¼ cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds) raw or toasted (optional)
- 1 tablespoon capers optional
- 3 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic or onion powder
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder or Dijon mustard
- pinch freshly ground black pepper to taste
- pinch salt to taste
Place potato in cold water with a pinch of salt and boil for 20-25 minutes until tender, can easily be pierced with a fork but do not break apart. Drain.
Set aside until the potatoes are cold—this could be done the day before making the salad.
Cut the potatoes in halves or quarters, to any size you choose.
Whisk together all the ingredients, except for the potatoes.
Then combine the dressing with the potatoes in a large mixing bowl until the potatoes are evenly covered. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if desired.
Cover and chill for several hours.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs before serving, if you’d like.
