Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp full-fat natural yogurt
  • 3 spring onions, finely sliced
  • 5-6 cocktail gherkins, diced
  • 1 celery stick, diced

Step by step

Get ahead
This salad can be made the day before and kept in the fridge.
  1. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and add the potatoes. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well and allow to cool. Cook the eggs in boiling water for 8 minutes. Drain, run under cool water, then peel and quarter lengthways.
  2. Whisk together all the ingredients for the vinaigrette, seasoning to taste. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, halve them, and toss in a bowl with the vinaigrette.
  3. Whisk together the mayonnaise and yogurt, then toss with the potatoes.
  4. Gently but thoroughly fold in the rest of the ingredients with the potatoes.
