Summer is almost here and I have the perfect potato salad recipe to celebrate any holiday! This is a great potato salad recipe for : Memorial Day, 4th of July or Labor day.
This red, white and blue lemon dill potato salad is so good and tasty, that will be the perfect side dish for your next backyard BBQ party or just chilling and grilling with the family. I used red, yellow and purple baby potatoes to get the effect of the red, white and blue flag colors. The tangy dressing is just perfect, the mix of the lemon, greek yogurt and fresh dill is the right balance to elevate the flavors of this salad.
A secret ingredient is finely chopped fresh celery to add a settle crunch to this delicious salad. I may also suggest adding finely diced shallot for a nice bite of red onion. The key is to make ahead and refrigerate ahead of time so it is cool and refreshing paired with your grilled, meat, chicken, or seafood of choice.
Fresh dill on top adds a touch of color to serve this delicious potato salad.
