When it comes to “who’s bringing what” to family events, I am known for my pasta salad and legendary for my potato salad. I’m bringing the best of both worlds to the party and combining the two! This salad is light, bright with flavors and vegetables, and super travel friendly. Without the mayonnaise used in traditional potato salad, it’s low in calories and in fat – and safe to serve at room temperature. In the south, we are very particular about not eating everyone’s potato salad. Good thing this is one that everyone will love!
