3- Make the Creamy Dressing:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), Dijon mustard, and sweet relish.
- Add the lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper.
- Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated to create a creamy dressing.
4- Assemble the Salad:
- In a large bowl, add the halved potatoes, chopped red onion, celery, dill, and parsley.
- Pour the creamy dressing over the top and gently toss everything together until the potatoes and veggies are well-coated with the sauce.
5- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once combined, the salad can be served immediately or chilled in the fridge for about an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Enjoy this salad as a refreshing side dish.
