Tips

Althought this salad can be served immediately, allowing it to chill in the fridge for at least one day, two days would be ideal, really lets the flavors come together.


Directions

Boil potatoes with lemon zest, parsley, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, and salt in 8 cups of water. Reduce to simmer and cook about 10 min. Add carrots and cook and additional 5 min, or until the potatoes are tender and the carrots are slightly tender yet still crisp. Reserve 1/4 cup of cooking water, and drain the rest, disgarding herbs. Let cool.

While potatoes cook, grate 2tsp lemon zest and squeeze 3 tbsp juice untio large bowl. Whisk yogurt, mayo, mustards, scallions, chopped parsley, reserved cooking water, pinch of salt, and a generous pinch of pepper.

Add potatoes, carrots, celery and cucumber to the dressing and toss. This dish can be served immediately.

Serving Size: Makes 6-8 servings, about 1/2 cup
