This tzatziki potato salad is lemony, creamy, and packed with protein. A must-make summer side!

Let’s talk about potato salad. And no, I don’t mean the mayoheavy mystery bowl at your family barbecue. This isn’t your classic potato salad. The idea of mixing cooked potatoes with herbs and dressings goes all the way back to the 16th century in Europe. It wasn’t really popularized until Germany gave us the warm vinegar style versions, but the Americans came in hot with mayo, pickles, and boiled eggs. But today, we’re changing it all up and Mediterranean mode. This is my high protein taziki potato salad packed with baby potatoes, red onions, creamy garicky Greek yogurt dressing loaded with cucumber and lemon. Don’t forget about that dill. It pairs perfectly with grilled chicken, fish, or whatever rotisserie you have kept in your fridge. So next time someone says bring a side dish, skip the store-bought slop and show up with this ancient Greece meets Jimbo masterpiece.
