Recipe Notes

• You could add any fresh herbs to this mayonnaise-free potato salad recipe. Snip some thyme, oregano, basil or rosemary from your herb garden and toss it in. In a pinch, you could use dried herbs.

• You can used bottled lemon juice, but if you can, squeeze fresh lemon juice. Fresh is always best.

• You could use russet potatoes, but a waxier potato works best for this recipe.

Here's how to make it: 

1. Cook the potatoes in salted, boiling water until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Put the hot potatoes into a large bowl.
2. Put the olive oil, parsley, dill, green onions, lemon juice, mustard and garlic into a blender. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Pulse until herbs are chopped. Add the cooking water and continue to pulse until just blended.
3. Pour the dressing over the potatoes. Toss to coat. Let the potatoes sit about 10 to 15 minutes to soak up the dressing. 
4. Fold in the celery, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon parsley and 1 tablespoon dill. Season with salt and pepper.
