Insalata greca di patate

Ingredienti

• 2 1/2 lbs red potatoes, (scrubbed and rinsed clean, diced into 3/4-inch cubes)
• 1/3 cup chopped red onion
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 english cucumber (8 oz) (halved, seeded, diced)
• 1 cup fat free plain Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 3 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, (then more for garnish)
• 1 Tbsp minced fresh dill, (then more for garnish)

Preparazione

1. 1

   Place potatoes in a large pot then add enough water to cover and season water with a teaspoon of salt.

2. 2

   Bring to a boil over medium-high heat then cover and reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer until potatoes are fully tender, about 8 - 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Drain potatoes, then chill fully (to chill faster spread onto a rimmed baking sheet and freeze for about 10 - 15 minutes).

4. 4

   Meanwhile place diced cucumber on a few layers of paper towels and wrap and press to remove some of the excess liquid.

5. 5

   Transfer cucumber to a large mixing bowl, add in Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, dill, lemon juice, and garlic then season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir mixture.

6. 6

   Add potatoes and red onion to bowl then toss to evenly coat. Serve within a few hours garnished with more parsley, dill and lemon zest (keep chilled).
