Health and Happiness in a Bowl
This Celery Seed Potato Salad isn’t just delicious, but also packed with nutrients that are essential for a balanced diet.

To top it off, the addition of apple cider vinegar brings along a bevy of health benefits, including aiding digestion and boosting heart health.

Well, not only does it hold a special link to my heritage and childhood, but it also incorporates my love for wholesome, hearty food that nourishes both the body and soul.
What You’ll Need
- 2.5 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
- 1.5 cups of mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon of celery seeds
- 1/2 cup of finely chopped onions
- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
Method
Step One
Begin by boiling the potatoes. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Let them simmer until they are tender but still firm, usually around 15 minutes. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and let them cool.
Step Two
While the potatoes are cooling, you can prepare the salad dressing. In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and celery seeds. Stir the ingredients until they are fully combined.
Step Three
Once the potatoes have cooled down, add them to the salad dressing. Also, add in the finely chopped onions and celery. Stir all the ingredients until the potatoes are fully coated with the dressing.
Step Four
Season your potato salad with salt and pepper to taste. If you’re using boiled eggs, now is the time to add them. Chop the eggs and add them to the salad, mixing gently to avoid mashing them.
Step Five
For the best flavor, let your celery seed potato salad chill in the refrigerator for a couple hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together. After chilling, you can adjust the conditions if necessary, and then serve your delicious celery seed potato salad! Enjoy!
