Recipe Substitues

Potatoes: Instead of potatoes, you can use sweet potatoes, yams, or turnips for a lower-carb option. Cauliflower florets or boiled chickpeas can also be substituted for a lighter, grain-free version of the salad.

Olive oil: Avocado oil, canola oil, or grapeseed oil can be used instead of olive oil.

Grain mustard: Dijon mustard or whole grain mustard can be used instead of grain mustard.

Lemon juice: Lime juice or apple cider vinegar can be used instead of lemon juice.

Mayonnaise: Greek yogurt or sour cream can be used instead of store-bought mayonnaise for a healthier option. Vegan mayonnaise or tahini can be used for a dairy-free or vegan option.

Dill: Fresh parsley, tarragon, or cilantro can be used instead of dill for a different flavor profile.

Chives or green spring onions: Scallions or red onions can be used instead of chives or green spring onions for a different flavor profile.

Celery: Finely chopped cucumber or bell peppers can be used instead of celery for a crunchy texture. Radishes or water chestnuts can also be added for extra crunch.

Ingredients

1 kilogram (2.2 lbs) of potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 tablespoons (30ml) of olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
20 grams (0.7 oz) of butter
1 tablespoon (15ml) of grain mustard
1 lemon, juiced
50 grams (1.7 oz) of store-bought mayonnaise
1 generous handful of fresh dill, chopped
1 generous handful of fresh chives or green spring onions, chopped
2 stalks of celery, finely chopped
Optional: crisp fried bacon bits, crumbled hard-boiled eggs, or toasted slivered almonds (for additional flavor).

Method

  1. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil.
  2. Simmer the potatoes for 5 minutes, then strain and toss with 2 tablespoons (30ml) of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Roast the potatoes at 175C (350F) for 15 minutes, or until browned. Set aside.

  4. Allow the butter mixture to cool slightly and then fold it into 50 grams (1.7 oz) of store-bought mayonnaise.
  5. Add a generous handful of chopped fresh dill, chives, or green spring onions, and chopped celery leaves. Mix well.
