Ok, let’s just face it. Summer means food. As much as we hate to admit it (and as hard as we try to keep our bodies bathing suit ready…) we just eat a lot during the summer. It’s true that we have the opportunity to be more active. With hiking and swimming and lots of summer walks. So I guess that makes up for it, right? 🙂
Summer barbecues will be happening with abandon this year and every year. It’s tradition.
And undoubtedly, you’ll be asked to “bring a side dish” to one of these shin digs. And potato salad might come to mind.
If it does, try this recipe for your next party.

I can’t quite describe what this tastes like. The first bite kind of catches you by surprise because, what? Lemon and red potatoes?
But by the third bite, you won’t even remember taking the second bite because you were too excited to get the third one in. My husband said after the first bite he wasn’t sure he liked it, but the more he ate, the more he realized he loved it. It’s just new, so it takes a second to adjust to it. But man oh man.
It is in a word: Yum.
I served this along with Feta Basil Turkey Burgers and Turkey Kabobs. So good! And if you need another fun grill night recipe, try these easy tin foil dinners!
