    Are you looking for a new spin on classic potato salad? Then give this Ultimate Potato Salad a try!!
    What is one of your favorite thing about Summer? 
    Besides the sunshine?
    I don't know about you, but for me it is picnics. Living in the Pacific Northwest, picnic weather doesn't come around all that often. So when there is an opportunity to combine food + family + sunshine? Well you know I am all over it! 

    A bunch of my friends from the Sunday Supper crew decided that we should all go on a picnic together. Unfortunately there is no way we could really all get together for a picnic, so this is the next best thing. 
    A virtual picnic. 
    Sound like fun? 
    I sure thought so!
    So, today we are celebrating International Picnic Day by bringing you a basket packed with goodies from A to Z, in the style of the picnic game! Drop by the Sunday Supper Movement to see the whole picnic spread out on our virtual blanket.

    I'm going on a picnic and I'm bringing...

    ......and Ultimate Potato Salad

    I make a dish called Kitchen Sink Macaroni Salad, and the whole family loves it. It was lovingly nicknamed that by my kids because they say it has everything but the kitchen sink in it.

    I decided to take that idea and transfer it to my potato salad. Tons of fresh veggies, potatoes, and creamy dreamy sauce? Oh yes, it is the ultimate, that is for sure!

    Ultimate Potato Salad   
    Serves 8

    3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
    Salt
    Fresh cracked black pepper
    1/3 cup cider vinegar
    3 tablespoons sugar
    2 tablespoons yellow mustard
    4 large hard-cooked eggs, peeled
    1/2 teaspoon celery seed
    3/4 cup Greek yogurt
    2 stalks celery, diced
    1 yellow bell pepper, diced
    1 orange bell pepper, diced

    4 green onions, chopped whites and greens
    1/4 red onion, diced

    Cover the potatoes with salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes.

    While potatoes simmer, microwave vinegar and sugar in small bowl until sugar dissolves, about 30 seconds. Process vinegar mixture, mustard, 1 hard-cooked egg yolk, celery seed, and salt in food processor until smooth. Transfer to medium bowl.

    Drain potatoes thoroughly, then transfer to large bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons dressing over hot potatoes and gently toss until evenly coated. Refrigerate until cooled, stirring gently once to redistribute dressing.

    Whisk the Greek yogurt into remaining dressing. Add remaining hard-cooked eggs and egg white to dressing and, using potato masher, mash until only small pieces remain. Add dressing, celery, bell peppers, green onions, and red onion to cooled potatoes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.

    ENJOY!

      You have to have potato salad at a picnic! I love that you used yogurt instead of the traditional mayo for this dish, too.

      A picnic just wouldn't be a picnic without the potato salad, and this sounds like an awesome one, Bobbi!

      Oh I totally love picnics. My other half and I like to take the kiddos up to Mt. Rainier for a picnic as much as we can. Such a beautiful place to hang out and I love that there is no phone signal or wifi. 🙂 I'd love to bring your potato salad!
