Mediterranean Potato Salad

This is a little taste of home for me. As a side note, what is known in the States as Greek yogurt, is a staple in every European home (at least in Eastern Europe). During the dark times, this yogurt was used as a topping in most dishes since sour cream was a fancy commodity. Regardless, for me it's still a taste of my childhood and kind of a comfort food. It works great in so many dishes, including in this simple, yet delicious side salad. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
-1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
-2 shallots, halved and thinly sliced
-1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
-1/2 cup good sheep feta cheese, crumbled
For dressing:
-1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
-1/4 cup mayo
-2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
-1 tsp Dijon mustard
-1 tsp salt
-1 tsp pepper
-1 tsp dried dill
Directions:
Boil potatoes until fork tender. Set aside and let them cool completely. 
Add to the salad bowl and mix with the shallots, olive, and cheese. Give it a good, but gentle stir.
Quickly whisk the dressing ingredients and pour over the salad. Mix well. Enjoy! YUM!
