  • Whisk
  • silicone spatula
  • zester

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lbs baby dutch potatoes
  • 2 celery stalks
  • ¼ cup red onions
  • 2 tbsp green onions

dressing

  • ¼ cup whole milk greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp mayo
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon (juiced and zested)
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 3 tbsp chives
  • 2 tbsp basil
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • ½ tsp tarragon
  • ½ tsp mint
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ¼ tsp sage

Instructions
 

Cook the potatoes:

  • Place potatoes in a pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil, then simmer 12–18 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let steam-dry.

Cook the eggs (two options):

  • Microwave method: Lightly grease a microwave-safe glass bowl or ramekin. Crack in eggs (one per ramekin for even cooking). Pierce yolks with a fork to prevent popping. Cover loosely and microwave at 50–60% power in 30–40 second bursts until firm, about 1½–2 minutes per egg. Let cool, then chop.
  • Hard-cooked method (stovetop): Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook 9–10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath until cool, then peel and chop.

Make the dressing:

  • Whisk together yogurt, mayo, olive oil, lemon juice/zest, Dijon, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Assemble:

  • In a large bowl, toss warm potatoes with dressing. Gently fold in celery, onions, and herbs.

Add eggs:

  • Carefully fold in chopped cooked eggs.

Taste & serve:

  • Adjust with extra lemon, salt, or herbs if desired. Serve warm or chilled.
