Cajun Potato Salad

Perhaps not the most aesthetically pleasing as far as salads go, but this is super tasty, simple to make, and very filling! It’s also part of installment #2 of the next batch of recipes that Hira and I tackled. :O (Recipe adapted from here!)

Cajun Potato Salad

-2 large potatoes
-2 large hardboiled eggs
-3 green onions, sliced
-3/4 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions:
1) Wash potatoes and cut into 1-1.5″ cubes. Place in a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 7-10 minutes or until very tender. Drain in a colander.
2) While potatoes are boiling, slice green onions + dice the celery. Peel and chop the hardboiled eggs. Place onions, celery, parsley + eggs in a large bowl.
3) To make the dressing, stir together the Greek yogurt, mustard, vinegar, blackened seasoning and salt.
4) Once the potatoes are well-drained and slightly cooled, add them to the boil with everything else. Pour dressing over the top and stir until well combined. Slightly mash potatoes as you stir until it reaches your desired consistency. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat!
