This potato salad was so bright and delicious! We added some chopped dill pickle to the leftovers and it was delicious!
Thanks Kristin and love the dill pickle idea! 😉
This looks like a delicious potato salad! I love potato salad but have never had it with dill before. Definitely one I'm going to have to try! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!
Thanks Billy! It's really good with the fresh dill but I almost always use dried dill weed in all my potato salads. Hope you get a chance to try it 🙂
Just tried this as a side dish at a cookout, and it is amazing. Thank you for a potato salad that made the German and the person who hates mayonnaise both happy! Definitely keeping this recipe handy.

I like potato salad but mayo alarm me from eating it frequently. This healthy version looks inviting with herbs flavour I can imagine the taste
Potato salad is one of my favourite, and l absolutely love dill, it is such a lovely herb to use with potatoes. That dressing is superb, it brings the salad to the very next nevel.
This is definitely my kind of potato salad! I love the fresh, citrus, herby approach as opposed to the mayo based versions! Yum!
Big YES to potato salad! I'm a huge HUGE fan! I love it, no matter what season or holiday or whatever day hehe Citrus, fresh herbs and mustard in this salad make it OMG irresistible 🙂 This is a must try!

Lemon just screams "spring" to me! I love potato salad, and while I do love the creamy versions, there's something awesome to be said about fresh lemon and dill. This is a must try!
Thanks Kylee 🙂
What a great spin on classic potato salad. Fresh & lovely flavors that will be a warm weather hit all season long.
You've managed to capture exactly what I like most in a potato salad. There's two things that must be present for me - the first is large pieces of perfectly cooked potato and the second is lots and lots of dill. This salad looks absolutely perfect!
Thanks Byron and I'm with you on the dill 🙂
Potato salad is just so versatile and if made right, they are so delicious. I love all the flavors going into your salad and these would be great for any day lunch. Lemon, dill and mustard makes a great combination.
I love potato salads, your recipe looks amazing, and I love that there is no mayo to worry about turning during warm weather picnics and bbqs!
Such an easy potato salad recipe and love the combination with lemon+dill. I'm sure it must be so flavorful and smell amazing too.
I'm rubbish at making potato salad but love eating it - your recipe looks so tasty, I'm going to have to try it 😀
I've never met a potato recipe that I didn't like but I have to say it's not often you find potato recipes that make you think oh that looks so light and fresh! This one however absolutely looks like that. Going on my list to try for sure!
Thanks Sara and hope you Enjoy 🙂
I LOVE the combination of potatoes and dill. We have a family recipe that uses this combination. I am a potato lover...so this salad is a winner in my books. Perfect for the upcoming grilling season. Delicious!!
This looks like the kind of comfort food side dish my whole family will love! I love using fresh dill as it adds a lot of flavor and the dressing certainly makes this super tasty!
What a great side dish with many good flavors and of course potatoes are always a favorite. Yummy for my tummy!
There is nothing like fresh herbs in a potato salad. Love the dill and lemon combination. This looks so refreshing
Potato salad also makes me think of cook-outs and warmer months! The lemon + dill additions make it feel light, fresh and healthy too!
I admit I'm not a huge fan of mayo in potato salad. This is much more my kind of flavors.
This potato salad looks so fresh and delicious and light! I way prefer this type than the heavier, mayonnaise versions.
Potato salad is a must at any southern gathering, but my uncle will never eat it because his sister always puts mayo in it. I'm gonna have to fix this for him when I do our Mother's Day get together.
Thanks Alicia and hope he Enjoys it 🙂
Using fresh herbs in potato salad is the best way to enjoy it. Loving the lemon too, this is a lovely recipe.
Thanks Janette 🙂
My cousin is in charge of Easter dinner this year, but you can bet I'll be bookmarking this recipe for summertime cookouts - I'm not the biggest fan of mayonnaise based "salads" so this one looks right up my alley!
