Method

Preparation of Base

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into uniform cubes and place them in a pot of salted boiling water. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and allow to cool.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pasta

    In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.

Mixing Vegetables

    Chop and Combine

    While the potatoes and pasta are cooling, chop the celery, red onion, bell pepper, and pickles. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the chopped vegetables.

Dressing Preparation

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, paprika, and fresh dill until smooth.

Final Assembly

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooled potatoes and pasta to the bowl of mixed vegetables. Pour the dressing over the top and gently fold everything together until well coated.

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using, add the chopped hard-boiled eggs and crumbled bacon to the salad and gently mix to combine.
