During the Summer, I always try to have an assortment of salads in the refrigerator. I never know who will be around at dinnertime. Family and friends are often over enjoying the pool and it is great to have sides available for whatever I am throwing on the grill. This Southern Style Potato Salad is always a big hit.

This potato salad looks lovely and inviting. It's been a while since I made potato salad and your dish inspired me now to make your version.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it Radha
DeletePotato salad is so comforting, it's one of my hubby's favorite things. His family introduced me to adding sweet relish to things, I grew up with dill only, so this sounds like a winner!

DeleteI love that you used two kinds of relish! We love potato salad in this family
