1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup celery, diced

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

Boil the Potatoes: Place the halved baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-12 minutes until tender but firm. Drain and let cool slightly.

    Prepare the Honey Mustard Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined and smooth.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, diced celery, chopped red onion, and parsley. If using hard-boiled eggs, gently fold them in as well.

        Toss with Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the potato mixture. Gently toss everything together until the potatoes and vegetables are evenly coated with the honey mustard dressing.

          Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

            Garnish (Optional): Just before serving, you can add a sprinkle of fresh parsley or some extra paprika for color and flavor.
