Introduction

This is one of my favorite lunch time salads. I mix up the dressing the night before and cook the potato in the microwave at work because I prefer my potato salad warm, but this can be refrigerated as well.

For additional protein, add a chopped hard boiled egg and increase calories by 70. This is one of my favorite lunch time salads. I mix up the dressing the night before and cook the potato in the microwave at work because I prefer my potato salad warm, but this can be refrigerated as well.
