Instructions
- Cook the potatoes: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the diced potatoes for about 8-10 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.
- Steam the cauliflower: In a separate pot or using a steamer basket, steam the cauliflower florets for 5-7 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain and let cool.
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey (if using), salt, black pepper, and paprika until smooth.
- Assemble the salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, cauliflower, hard-boiled eggs, celery, red onion, pickles, and parsley.
- Toss with dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad and gently fold everything together until well coated.
- Chill & Serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with extra parsley and a sprinkle of paprika if desired.
