Every week we pull together some great Canadian recipes from Canadian food bloggers around the web featuring one main ingredient or dish. This week we're featuring a summertime picnic and bbq classic, potato salad! Mix up your menu with some of these delicious cold potato salad recipes.
Potato Salad is synonymous with summer. How do you like it? With mayo or a simple vinaigrette? Are you all about the hardboiled eggs or can you skip them? A healthy dash of paprika or dill? (or both!?).
We love potato salad because no matter how you prefer it, it has one key summer feature: you can make it in the early morning to escape a hot afternoon kitchen and it will have the perfect amount of time for the herbs and spices to meld together in the fridge before you pull it out for dinner! It's also easy and uses simple, garden fresh ingredients and that's what summer is all about.
We've pulled together 15 summer ready potato salad recipes that run from the classic to the more unique options (like sweet potato salad and pickled beet potato salad). There's also allergen-friendly, vegan, paleo and gluten-free options.
So skip those plastic deli containers of potato salad from the grocery store this year - we're pretty sure you'll find a potato salad for everyone in your family bubble this summer right here!
Fire up the grill to cook up some protein, pull a cold potato salad and some frosty summer mocktails out of the fridge and enjoy!
