- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup diced red onion

Directions
- Wash the red potatoes and place them in a large pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
- While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, cut them into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the diced celery, diced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl with the potatoes.
- Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss until all the ingredients are coated in the dressing.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, give the potato salad a quick stir and garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
