Ingredients

  • 3 cups potatoes cut into ½ inch pieces
  • 3 hard boiled eggs chopped
  • ½ cup red onion minced
  • fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • 2 large dill pickles roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon organic brown mustard
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic minced
  • black pepper

Instructions

  • Wash and chop potatoes. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, place eggs in a pot, immersing in water. Place on high heat and boil for 12-15 minutes. Immediately strain the water from the eggs and run cold water over them. Let them cool off for a few minutes then peel the shell from the egg and roughly chop the hard boiled eggs, adding them to the large bowl.
  • While the potatoes and eggs are cooking, mince the red onion, and chop the cilantro and dill pickle.
  • Next, make the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, brown mustard, vinegar, garlic, and black pepper.
  • Place the cooled potatoes in a large bowl. Add the dressing and stir to coat, mashing the potatoes slightly so that the salad becomes creamy.
  • Fold in the red onion, cilantro, and dill pickles. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes. Enjoy!
