Directions

  1. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine feta, yogurt, sour cream, lemon juice, zest and herbs (reserve some for garnish). Blend until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, combine cooled potatoes, bacon, red onion and celery.
  4. Pour dressing over the potato mixture and gently fold to combine.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to enhance the flavours.
  6. Garnish: Top with crumbled feta and remaining herbs.

Tips

Add a final squeeze of lemon juice just before serving to wake up the creamy dressing after chilling.
