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:
- Make the Beet Vinaigrette:
- Put the beet in a small mixing bowl, season with the salt, stir, and set aside for 10 minutes to soften and season the beet. Combine the vinegar, garlic, and chile in a small saucepan, bring all to a boil over high heat, then lower heat to gently simmer for 1 minute, just to cook off the garlic's raw flavor. Pour the hot mixture over the beets, stir, and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Stir in the olive oil.
- Make the Herby Coconut Yogurt:
- Roughly chop the herbs. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, most of the herbs, the scallion, and the salt. Use a Microplane to grate the lime zest into the bowl, then halve the lime and squeeze in the juice. Stir well.
- Grill the carrots and make the dish:
- Fire up a grill to cook with medium-high heat. On a plate, rub the carrots with the avocado oil to just barely coat them (excess oil will lead to flare-ups and unpleasant flavor). Season the carrots with the salt, toss, and grill, turning them occasionally and moving them to a cooler part of the grill if they get dark before they're tender, until lightly charred and fully tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Let them cool for a couple of minutes.
- Spread the yogurt on a platter and top with the carrots. Spoon on the pickle-y beets first, then drizzle on about 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette. Sprinkle with the remaining herbs and serve.

Steps:
- Combine the yogurt, onions, vinegar, olive oil, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and thoroughly combined.
Tips:
- Use high-quality yogurt: The quality of your yogurt will greatly impact the flavor of your vinaigrette. Choose a yogurt that is plain, whole-milk, and Greek-style. Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier than regular yogurt, which will give your vinaigrette a richer flavor and texture.
- Choose the right type of vinegar: The type of vinegar you use will also affect the flavor of your vinaigrette. White wine vinegar is a classic choice, but you can also use apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, or even rice vinegar. Each type of vinegar will give your vinaigrette a slightly different flavor profile.
- Add some herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to your vinaigrette. Some popular choices include basil, chives, dill, garlic, lemon zest, oregano, and thyme. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Use a blender or food processor: If you want a smooth and creamy vinaigrette, you can use a blender or food processor to combine the ingredients. This will help to emulsify the vinaigrette and prevent it from separating.
- Let the vinaigrette rest: After you've made your vinaigrette, let it sit for a few minutes before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
Conclusion:
Yogurt vinaigrette is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, vegetables, and proteins. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and healthy vinaigrette that will add a touch of elegance to any dish.
