Ingredients

FOR THE DRESSING

FOR THE SALAD

  • 1 16-ounce package gnocchi
  • 1 12-ounce package Trader Joe's Kale Gnocchi can be subbed with another package of potato gnocchi
  • 1/4 red onion diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 1 dill pickle diced
  • dill, smoked paprika for serving, optional

Instructions

  • Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add both packages of gnocchi** and cook until they float to the top (approx. 3 minutes). Drain, but DO NOT rinse. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.***
  • Combine the gnocchi, red onion, celery, dill pickle and dressing in a bowl. Gently toss until combined. Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour.****
  • Remove from the fridge, add any optional toppings and serve - or grab a fork and eat it right out of the bowl.

Notes

*I linked a vegan-friendly whole grain mustard. If you have trouble finding one at your store, just swap it for another tbsp of yellow mustard.
**The package of kale gnocchi says to boil for 6 minutes, but I found that they floated around the same time as the regular gnocchi. Be sure not to overcook the gnocchi or it will turn to mush.
***You don't want to let the gnocchi sit for longer than 10 minutes, otherwise they will start sticking together. 
****This can be made 1 day in advance. If you are making it ahead of time, leave some of the dressing separate in the fridge and add it right before serving.
