Ingredients
  

2 lbs baby Yukon gold potatoes

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp honey

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/4 cup finely diced red onion

1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

1/2 cup roasted red peppers, chopped

1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1/4 cup crispy bacon bits (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh chives for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing the baby Yukon gold potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly before cutting them into halves or quarters.

    Make the Dressing: In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is creamy and well combined.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked potatoes, red onion, roasted red peppers, corn, and fresh dill. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.

        Add Bacon (Optional): If using crispy bacon bits, fold them in at this stage for added flavor and crunch.

          Chill and Serve: Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

            Garnish and Enjoy: Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with freshly chopped chives for a pop of color and flavor.
