Tangy Mustard and Dill Potato Salad
This tangy potato salad is a classic for a reason. The creamy mayonnaise dressing is perfectly balanced by the sharp Dijon mustard and the bright acidity of the apple cider vinegar. The celery and red onion add a nice crunch and the fresh dill brings a pop of herbaceousness. This salad is perfect for any picnic or potluck, and it's even better the next day.
Potato salad has been around for centuries, and there are countless variations on the classic recipe. This particular version is inspired by the classic German potato salad, but with a few modern twists. The Dijon mustard adds a bit of sharpness, the apple cider vinegar brightens the flavors, and the fresh dill gives it a touch of herbaceousness. The result is a potato salad that is both creamy and tangy, with a nice crunch from the celery and red onion.
