Anti Inflammatory Ranch Chive Potato Salad

Baby potatoes are boiled until fork-tender, then left to cool and dry out on a sheet pan so every surface can soak up flavor instead of turning mushy in a puddle of dressing. Crisp celery, scallion greens, and a generous handful of fresh chives bring color, crunch, and a bright, herby bite to every forkful. A creamy dressing built on garlic-infused olive oil, tangy apple cider vinegar, and a touch of Dijon mustard coats the potatoes in that classic ranch flavor without weighing the dish down. Dried dill and parsley round out the seasoning, and a scatter of fresh dill on top adds one more layer of herbal freshness right before serving. It's the kind of make-ahead side that actually improves after a day in the fridge, as the herbs and vinegar work their way into every piece. This version fits neatly into an anti-inflammatory spread, whether you're serving it alongside grilled fish or bringing it to a potluck where everyone's watching what's on their plate.

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.
