Mediterranean Diet Friendly Ranch Chive Potato Salad

Tender baby potatoes are boiled until fork-soft, then tossed while still warm so they soak up every bit of flavor from the dressing. Crisp celery, scallion tops, and a generous handful of fresh chives bring color and crunch, while garlic-infused olive oil and a tang of apple cider vinegar and Dijon keep the dressing bright rather than heavy. Fresh dill scattered over the top finishes it with an herby, garden-fresh lift. The whole thing comes together in one bowl and only gets better after a day in the fridge, as the flavors have time to settle in. Loaded with vegetables, herbs, and good olive oil, it's a natural fit for a Mediterranean-style spread — equally at home next to grilled fish, roasted chicken, or a big platter of vegetables. It's the kind of make-ahead side that disappears fast at any warm-weather gathering.

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.
