Tzatziki Potato Salad
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 25 minutes Servings: 4
A cool and creamy potato salad with a Tzatziki (Greek style cucumber) sauce and crumbled feta!
ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds potatoes, diced (optionally peeled)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or plain greek yogurt)
- 1/2 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded, grated, and squeezed to drain
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (~1/2 lemon)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup feta, crumbled (optional)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
directions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, add a pinch of salt, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are just tender, about 8-10 minutes, before removing from water and letting them cool.
- Mix the yogurt, mayo, cucumber, garlic, dill, mint, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Mix the potatoes, cucumber mixture, feta and green onions and enjoy!
Note: Pretty much any potatoes can be used for potato salad! Russet style potatoes will start to break down and lose their shape while having a creamy texture. White and Red potatoes will retain their shape well and have a solid texture. Golden/yellow potatoes are somewhere in between.
Option: Use your favourite herbs!
Option: Add 1/4 cup red onions, diced or sliced.
Option: Add 1/4 cup kalamata olives.
Tip: This salad tastes great just made and the flavours get better after chilling out in the fridge for a couple of hours!
