Potato Salad With Bacon & Herb Mustard Dressing

Potato mixed with bacon and egg provide a popular mix for a potato salad. Instead of mixing in a mayonnaise based dressing, this dish uses greek yoghurt as the base. The dressing is a beautiful creamy mixture of yoghurt, wholegrain mustard, lemon juice and honey to provide a real tangy taste to the potato salad. Mixing through thyme and chives adds the perfect finishing touch to this very tasty potato salad. The dressing provides a light coating on the potatoes without drowning them. This is a great side dish to any barbeque.
