4. Add the diced celery, diced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl with the potatoes.
5. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss until all the ingredients are coated in the dressing.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
8. Before serving, give the potato salad a quick stir and garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
