Cauliflower Potato Salad

Directions

  1. Cook the potatoes: Place diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10–12 minutes, until tender but still firm. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Steam the cauliflower: While potatoes cook, steam cauliflower florets for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside to cool.
  3. Prepare the vegetables: Dice celery, onion, and red bell pepper, and chop the eggs and parsley if using.
  4. Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together potatoes, cauliflower, celery, onion, bell pepper, and eggs. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat evenly.
  6. Chill: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld. This step enhances the taste and texture.
  7. Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a fresh, vibrant touch.
