Total preparation time: 1 hour Cooking time: 30 minutes Cooling time: 30 minutes Number of servings: 4 Necessary ingredients - 750 g new potatoes - 1 egg yolk - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard - 1 tablespoon white vinegar - 1 tablespoon sugar - 75 ml yogurt - 5 large radishes - 2 green onion stalks - Green lettuce leaves - Salt, to taste - Fresh parsley (optional) Preparing the salad 1. Boiling the potatoes: Start by washing the new potatoes well under cold running water to remove any impurities. Then place them in a pot with cold salted water, making sure the water completely covers them. Boil over medium heat until tender, about 20-30 minutes, depending on their size. 2. Rapid cooling: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and prepare a bowl with cold water and ice. Transfer the potatoes to the bowl with cold water to prevent overcooking and help them maintain their firm texture. After a few minutes, check if the skin peels off easily. If so, rub them with a dry towel to clean the skin. 3. Preparing the vegetables: While the potatoes cool, take the radishes and slice them thinly. Chop the green onions and dice the green lettuce leaves. These fresh ingredients will add a crunchy and vibrant note to your salad. 4. Preparing the dressing: In a bowl, combine the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, and sugar. Mix well to obtain a smooth paste. Then add the yogurt and continue mixing until the dressing becomes creamy. Adjust the taste with salt, as preferred. 5. Assembling the salad: In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables: radishes, green onions, and lettuce. Add the cooled potatoes cut in halves or quarters, as preferred. Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetable mixture and mix gently, so as not to crush the potatoes. 6. Final cooling: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serving Once chilled, the new potato salad with yogurt and Dijon mustard dressing is ready to be enjoyed! You can add chopped fresh parsley on top for an extra touch of freshness and color. This salad is perfect both as a main dish, accompanied by a piece of grilled meat, and as a side dish alongside fish or tofu. Tips and variations - Enriching the salad: You can add green or black olives for a Mediterranean taste. Additionally, cubes of feta cheese or cheese can provide a creamy and hearty note. - Alternative dressing: Instead of yogurt, you can use sour cream for a richer flavor or Greek yogurt for a denser texture. - Crunchy additions: Roasted nuts or sunflower seeds can add a crunchy and healthy note.
