CELERY BLACK GRAPE AND BLUE CHEESE POTATO SALAD



Celery Black Grape and Blue Cheese Potato Salad image

This combination is genius and works incredibly well if I do say so myself! Every element of the dish complements the next. One of those things I make sometimes and live off it for days! Crunchy big chunks of refreshing celery set in blue cheese dressing with the sweetness of black grapes to offset both. The potatoes are a great foil to this and prevent it from being too rich. A great dish to serve at buffets or pot luck dinners Its a cheeseboard lovers dream and looks colourful and presentable too

Categories     Potato

Time 30m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs salad potatoes (I prefer a waxy variety like Charlotte)
8 large celery ribs, washed and cut into large diagonal chunks
500 g seedless black grapes (A large bunch of the best and darkest available)
150 g danish blue cheese, crumbled (approx)
400 ml approx Greek yogurt (Can use half mayo or low fat either)
plenty fresh ground black pepper
salt

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes in plenty of salted water for 15 minutes or until tender.
  • Whilst still hot, mix with the yoghurt and cheese and allow to more or less cool.
  • Add the celery chunks and grapes along with plenty of black pepper and mix thoroughly.
  • Transfer to a clean bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before serving, mixing in any water that may have separated or adding more yoghurt or mayo if the dressing has been sucked up by the potatoes.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a variety of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and fingerling potatoes.
  • To save time, you can boil the potatoes the day before and store them in the refrigerator overnight.
  • If you don't have blue cheese dressing, you can make your own by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, crumbled blue cheese, and a little bit of lemon juice.
  • For a vegetarian version of this salad, omit the bacon.
  • To make this salad ahead of time, cook the potatoes and bacon, and then store them separately in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, simply combine the potatoes, bacon, blue cheese dressing, and chives.

Conclusion:

Potato and blue cheese salad is a classic side dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and summer barbecues. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy blue cheese dressing, crispy bacon, and tender potatoes, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
