CREAMY DIJON-DILL POTATO SALAD
I guess I'm sticking to the classic salads for my BBQ, and there's nothing more classic BBQ than a good home-style potato salad. Mine is rich in flavor, but still light and fresh, thanks in large part to the dill and lemon juice. The vibrant green dill also does wonders for the look of the salad. There's nothing worse than mushy, mealy potatoes, so make sure to start your spuds off in cold water and to cook them whole.

Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a big pot with enough water to cover by 1-inch. Season with salt and bring the water to a boil. Cook just until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the uncovered pot off the heat. Let them sit until almost room temperature. (Cooling them in the warm pot will get rid of any excess water in the potatoes, and that's good.)
- Meanwhile, cut the white parts off the ends of the celery stalks. Cut the stalks in half lengthwise, then across into 1/4-inch slices. Stir the celery, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the remaining ingredients together in a serving bowl large enough to hold all the potatoes.
- When they're cool, cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces, add them to the bowl as you go. Stir gently until all the potatoes are coated with dressing. You can make the salad up to a couple of hours in advance. Keep covered at room temperature. Don't refrigerate or the potatoes will lose their rich, smooth texture.

CREAMY POTATO SALAD WITH YOGURT VINAIGRETTE
You may worry about the amount of dressing in this luscious salad, but you'll find that it is largely absorbed by the potatoes. The salad resembles a classic creamy potato salad with lots of crunchy celery, but there's only a smidgen of mayonnaise here. The technique of softening the onions with boiling water comes from the cookbook author Deborah Madison.

Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a pot with cold water and add some salt. Cover, bring to a boil and boil until fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, cut in half and transfer to a bowl.
- Toast the pine nuts in a skillet over low heat until just light golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Mix together the mayonnaise, olive oil, pesto, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Pour half the dressing over the potatoes and toss to combine. Sprinkle over the pine nuts and stir in. Add more dressing to taste.
- Cover and refrigerate the potato salad for a few hours. To serve, sprinkle lots of small basil leaves over the top.
Tips:
- Select the Right Potatoes: Choose firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, or New Potatoes. These hold their shape well during boiling and maintain a creamy texture when mixed with the dressing.
- Properly Boil the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender but not mushy. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly before slicing or dicing for the salad.
- Make a Creamy Dressing: The dressing is the key to a flavorful potato salad. Use good-quality mayonnaise, sour cream, and mustard as the base. Add in chopped celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, and pickles for a classic flavor combination. You can also add fresh herbs like dill or parsley for extra freshness.
- Season the Salad Well: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper for a more complex flavor.
- Chill the Salad Before Serving: Allowing the potato salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving helps the flavors meld together and gives the potatoes a chance to absorb the dressing.
