Potato Salad Recipe

Zesty Dill Potato Salad Recipe

It’s a toss up between my mother and my mother-in-law as to who makes the best potato salad. They’re very different, but both amazingly good. But both of their salads rely heavily on mayonnaise and sometimes I like something a little bit different. This unique potato salad recipe is a Guiltless Grilling Recipe provided by Guiding Stars. It’s a healthier version of traditional potato salad with less fat and calories, but it’s very tasty.

Don’t like dill? You can use another herb of choice. Choose from Thyme, basil, or rosemary. But I’m fond of dill – it’s heavily used in the making of pickles and I love a good pickle!  This salad also uses red potatoes instead of traditional white or yellow and balsamic vinegar instead of mayo.

Try adding this zestier, lighter, and healthier version of potato salad at your next cookout. Make it up to a day ahead to give the flavors time to really blossom.
