For a tangier flavor, try adding a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing. Feel free to customize the vegetables according to your preference. Bell peppers, radishes, or even chopped pickles can be great additions. If you prefer a richer flavor, you can substitute some of the mayonnaise with sour cream or Greek yogurt. Make sure the potatoes are not overcooked, as they will become mushy and ruin the texture of the salad. This potato salad is best served chilled, but it can also be enjoyed at room temperature.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
9 mins
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook until they are tender but still slightly firm, about 5-7 minutes. Drain the potatoes and rinse them immediately with cold water to stop the cooking process. (7 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the cooled potatoes, diced hard-cooked eggs, cucumber, tomato, celery, red onion, and green onion. (3 minutes)
03
Step
1 mins
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the light mayonnaise and yellow mustard until smooth and creamy. (2 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Pour the mayonnaise dressing over the potato and vegetable mixture. Gently stir until all ingredients are evenly coated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the salad mushy. (3 minutes)
05
Step
10 mins
Season the potato salad generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings as needed. (2 minutes)
06
StepCover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is crucial for enhancing the overall taste of the salad. (10 minutes)
07
StepBefore serving, give the potato salad another gentle stir. Garnish with additional chopped green onion or a sprinkle of paprika for added visual appeal.
