For fans of potato salad, we’ve got practically endless possibility for different kinds of flavorings and mix-ins. You like red potatoes? We got red potato salad. Want more veggies? Check out our antipasto potato salad or our Greek chicken potato salad. Want less veggies? Our Southern potato salad or our German potato salad are for you. The one thing we didn’t have (until now!) was tzatziki-inspired potato salad, which made coming up with this recipe a no-brainer. This recipe is creamy without being super mayo-heavy, perfect for summer.
This spin on the summertime classic is very dill-forward, nicely lemon-y, and bright with yogurt, crunchy cucumber—both fresh and pickled—, and creamy boiled baby red potatoes. Add in a bit of zesty red onions and a pinch of MSG, and you’ve got a paradox of refreshing indulgence that’ll have everyone at your potluck or BBQ clamoring for the recipe.
Looking to round out your meal? Serve this alongside our classic falafel, some homemade hummus, and some chicken souvlaki for the perfect Greek-inspired meal.
