Ingredients for Avocado Potato Salad

  • 2 ripe avocados, cubed
  • Fresh Lime Juice
  • Sweet Onion
  • Fresh Cilantro

How to Make Avocado Potato Salad

  1. Peel and cube 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes. Place in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  2. While potatoes boil, cube 2 ripe avocados and immediately toss with 2 tablespoons of lime juice to prevent browning.
  3. Drain the cooked potatoes and rinse under cold water until cooled. Drain again thoroughly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 cup olive oil, and 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  5. Add the cooled potatoes to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to combine.
  6. Gently fold in the avocado, 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  7. Serve immediately at room temperature or chill for up to 3 hours in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
