Ingredients

Scale

Here’s the complete list of ingredients, with precise measurements:

  • ¾ cup dill pickles, chopped
  • ½ cup celery, finely diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)

Dressing:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
  • ¼ cup pickle juice (from the jar)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp black pepper

These quantities are perfect for this recipe.

Always prepare all ingredients.

Instructions

Let’s break down the process into easy-to-follow steps.

Step 1: Cook the Potatoes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. It’s important not to overcook the potatoes, as they will become mushy in the salad.

Step 2: Make the Dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), pickle juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Salad. In a large bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, chopped dill pickles, finely diced celery, finely diced red onion, and fresh dill (or dried dill).

Step 4: Toss & Chill. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy. Garnish with extra fresh dill, if desired, and serve cold as a side dish.

These steps are very easy to do.
