Ingredients

For dressing: 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup sour cream 3 Tbsp. pickle juice* 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard 1 tsp. granulated sugar

2 tsp. Cumin Seeds

1/2 tsp. Celery Seeds

1 tsp. Dill Weed

1 tsp. Mt. Elbert All-Purpose Seasoning

Salt & pepper to taste For salad: 2 lbs. red potatoes, scrubbed and quartered

1 Tbsp. Mayan Sea Salt

2 celery stalks, finely chopped 2 scallions, white and green parts finely chopped 1/3 cup minced pickle chips*

Salt & Pepper Tableside Seasoning

Directions

Step 1 For dressing: Whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, pickle juice, Dijon, and sugar together in a small bowl.

Step 2 Crush cumin seeds and celery seeds together in a mortar & pestle, or give them a quick whiz in a spice grinder, just enough so they are coarsely crushed.

Step 3 Add crushed seeds, dill weed, and Mt. Elbert to mayo mixture and stir to combine. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Set aside so flavors can meld while salad is prepared.

Step 4 For salad: In a large pot, cover potatoes with cold water by about 1 inch. Add salt and bring to a boil.

Step 5 Boil until largest pieces are easily pierced with a knife, 10 to 15 min. Drain potatoes into a colander and run cold water over them for a minute to stop the cooking.

Step 6 Once cool, cut again into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl. Add celery, scallion, and pickles.

Step 7 Fold in dressing to taste. Season with more salt & pepper to taste.

Step 8 Cover and chill for at least an hour before serving. Garnish with additional cumin seeds if desired.

Recipe Notes

*Use dill or sweet pickles depending on taste preference. Add more pickle juice or minced pickle to taste.
