Ingredients

Scale

(Serves 6–8)

Potato base:

2 lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes, diced into ¾” cubes (or swap for cauliflower—you love low-carb!)
Salted water for boiling

Creamy dressing:

½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt or sour cream (you love high-protein!)
¼ cup mayonnaise (or avocado oil mayo for cleaner fat)
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (you love citrus brightness!)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Salt & black pepper to taste

Mix-ins:

6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (you love savory richness!)
½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (use reduced-sodium—you love low-sodium options!)
3 green onions, sliced
Optional: 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives or parsley

Instructions

1. Cook potatoes:

Place potatoes in pot; cover with salted water. Bring to boil.
Cook 10–12 minutes until fork-tender but not mushy. Drain; rinse under cold water to stop cooking.

2. Make dressing:

In a large bowl, whisk yogurt, mayo, vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

3. Assemble salad:

Add cooled potatoes, bacon, cheese, and green onions to dressing. Gently fold until coated.

4. Chill & serve:

Refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours). Garnish with extra chives before serving.
