Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds small new potatoes, halved or quartered if large
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Place the potatoes directly on the grill grates. Grill for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred.
Remove the potatoes from the grill and let them cool slightly.
While the potatoes are grilling, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar in a medium bowl.
Add the cooled grilled potatoes, chives, red onion, and celery to the dressing. Toss to combine.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika to the dressing.
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1/4 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
This salad can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. Bring it to room temperature before serving for best flavor.
