Lemon Vinaigrette Potato Salad
Total Time: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 15 min.，Makes: 12 servings
I developed this recipe for a friend who needed a potato salad that could withstand Fourth of July weather. The vinaigrette was a safe and delicious alternative to traditional mayonnaise-based potato salads. I’ve also substituted fresh thyme for the basil. Any fresh herbs would be great! —Melanie Cloyd, Mullica Hill, New Jersey
