Serves: 6 | Prep: 15 min | Cook: 12–15 min | Chill: 1 hr

Ingredients

Potato Salad

• 1½ lb (700 g) baby Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
• ½ cup finely diced celery
• ½ cup finely diced red bell pepper
• ¼ cup chopped green onions
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tbsp chopped dill pickles, optional

Cajun Dressing

• ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp light mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1–2 tsp Cajun seasoning
• 1 tsp hot sauce
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ⅛ tsp black pepper
• Salt, to taste

Method

1. Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat and cook for 10–12 minutes, until fork-tender but still firm. Drain and cool for 15–20 minutes.
3. Whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
4. Add cooled potatoes, celery, bell pepper, green onions, parsley, and pickles to a large bowl.
5. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently fold until evenly coated.
6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour; chilling for 2–4 hours gives the best flavor.
7. Taste before serving and adjust with extra Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, or lemon juice.
