- Add the chopped red onion, diced celery, and fresh dill to the potatoes. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, give the potato salad a quick taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Garnish with additional chopped dill, if desired.
- Serve the Southern Dill Potato Salad chilled as a side dish with your favorite grilled meats or enjoy it on its own as a light and refreshing meal.
