A refreshing take on potato salad steals the grilling spotlight

When this salad is on the table, even the best-grilled sausage takes a back seat. This salad is a delightful addition to any grill spread, pairing beautifully with meats or standing on its own. While Germans claim to be the originators, it quickly made its way around Europe. In my version, I choose a lighter yogurt-mayonnaise sauce with olive oil and mustard. Simply mouth-watering!

This potato salad impresses with its lightness, featuring new potatoes, pickles, and a yogurt-mayonnaise sauce, garnished with chives and dill. Nothing more is needed for happiness here.

Made with new potatoes, this salad is a perfect side dish for grilling. Chill it in the fridge beforehand for enhanced flavour. You can serve it cold, offering a refreshing touch during outdoor grilling.
