iNGREDIENTS
 

• 1.5kg small new potatoes
• 125ml (1/2 cup) low-fat natural yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Step 1 Place potatoes into a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 12–15 minutes or until just tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
Step 2 Combine yoghurt and lemon juice in a small bowl. Slice potatoes in half (or quarters, if large) and place into a large bowl. Add dressing, green onions and herbs. Combine gently until dressing coats potatoes. Season with pepper.
Step 3 Transfer to a platter. Serve sprinkled with chopped pistachios and freshly chopped chives.
