Potato salad with vegetables and corn

To make a delicious and refreshing salad, we start by preparing the vegetables. We take carrots, bell peppers of different colors, cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions, which we cut into uniform-sized cubes to ensure a pleasant texture and an attractive presentation. These vegetables will add not only color but also a variety of flavors. Once the vegetables are prepared, we place them in a large bowl, taking care to gently mix them to avoid crushing.

In another container, we focus on the onion. This will be the base of a sweet-sour taste that will perfectly complement the salad. We slice the onion thinly and add it to a small pot. Then, we pour two tablespoons of water, one tablespoon of vinegar, and one tablespoon of honey over the onion. We simmer the mixture for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and changes its texture, releasing its sweet aromas. Once it is ready, we drain the onion to remove excess liquid and add it over the vegetables in the bowl.

Next, we prepare the dressing. In a separate bowl, we mix mayonnaise with creamy Greek yogurt, add a teaspoon of mustard for extra flavor, and season with salt, pepper, and various herbs such as dill or parsley, depending on personal preferences. We mix everything with a spatula until we achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. It is important to ensure that the dressing is well blended, as it will bind all the ingredients together and add a delicious taste to the salad.

After we finish preparing the dressing, we pour it over the vegetables and onion in the bowl, gently mixing to coat all the ingredients with the creamy sauce. We try not to crush the vegetables but just to dress them in this tasty mixture. Once everything is well combined, we cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for 30 minutes. This step is essential as it allows the flavors to meld and intensify, resulting in a fresh and savory salad, perfect to be served as an appetizer or as a side dish to various dishes. Finally, we serve the salad cold, admiring the vibrant colors and the enticing aroma that will delight our senses.
