......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
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
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.

Thanks Nichole! I am so addicted to using Greek yogurt in things i think I use it in just about anything that I usually use mayo in!!

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!
