Low Sugar Ranch Chive Potato Salad

Total time1 hr 5 min

Prep time15 min

Cook time20 min

Tender baby potatoes simmer until fork-tender, then get a chance to cool and dry out on a sheet pan so every ridge and edge can really grab onto the dressing. That dressing is the star here: sour cream, mayonnaise, and garlic-infused olive oil whisked with apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard, brightened with dried dill and parsley for that classic ranch tang. Crisp celery, sliced scallion greens, and a generous handful of fresh chives fold right in, giving every scoop a little crunch and a fresh, herby bite. A scatter of fresh dill on top finishes it off before serving, and the whole thing only gets better as it sits in the fridge and the flavors meld together. Since nothing here relies on a sweetened dressing or added sugar to bring the flavor, it's a naturally solid pick if you're keeping things sugar-free. Serve it straight from the bowl at room temperature or chilled — either way, it's a creamy, savory side that holds its own at any table.

1 tsp salt, plus more for the cooking water
3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
½ cup scallion green tops, thinly sliced
¼ cup fresh chives, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh dill, roughly chopped (optional)

For the ranch dressing

½ cup sour cream
⅓ cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp dried dill
½ tsp dried parsley
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt

Instructions

1
Place the halved baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork with no resistance, about 12–15 minutes.
2
Drain the potatoes in a colander and spread them in a single layer on a sheet pan or large plate to cool for 20–30 minutes, until no longer steaming. Do not rinse — the dry surface helps the dressing cling.
