Print Recipe

A fresh and creamy potato salad made without mayonnaise, using Greek yogurt, cucumbers, and dill for a light and tangy summer side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900 g) baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon salt to the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork. Drain potatoes in a colander and let cool slightly.
  2. While the potatoes cook, slice the English cucumber thinly. If the cucumber has a lot of seeds, scoop them out to avoid excess moisture. Place the slices in a colander, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and let sit for 10 minutes to release water. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  4. Add the slightly cooled potatoes to the dressing. Gently fold in the cucumbers, fresh dill, and green onions. Toss carefully to coat everything without mashing the potatoes.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Stir gently before plating and garnish with dill sprigs if desired.

Notes

Do not overcook the potatoes to keep them firm. Thoroughly dry cucumbers after salting to avoid watery salad. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best creaminess. Chill salad for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors. For vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt.
