Potato Salad with Balsamic Dressing

August 8, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 23 Comments

Hello,

Happy Wednesday to you!  Today I am bringing you a quick, easy and tasty potato salad that I made for my Boss’s barbecue last Saturday.  The pictures are not great but the flavor is!

I made this salad before I went to work, it’s quick, easy and it is perfect for travel.  I decided to use a balsamic salad dressing instead of traditional mayonnaise for a couple of reasons, the main reason is calories!  Who needs all those high calories in a salad?  Plus I needed a recipe that is good for vegans and meat eaters and I thought this salad would be perfect!!


For the potatoes I used Baby Dutch Yellow Potatoes that I picked up from Trader Joe’s.  I really like these potatoes because there pretty creamy and there small which makes for quicker cooking time.  For the balsamic dressing I cheated and used Trader Joe’s Fat Free Balsamic Dressing, added some salt, pepper and scallions and that’s it.  Pretty easy!!  It would have been nice to make my own dressing, but sometimes convenience is better.

I should tell you this salad is good cold, room temperature or warm.  If you have left over potato salad this makes for a wonderful skillet fried potato dish.  Just slices them up smaller, throw them in a skillet with some olive oil, and cook until lightly brown.  That’s one of my cheats that I do to get two different dishes out of one recipe.

What is your favorite kind of potato salad?  My Husband LOVES the traditional potato salad made with mayonnaise and eggs.  Me, I like my Balsamic Potato Salad.  I’m more of a balsamic person rather than a mayonnaise person.  Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, since I was making this for vegans and meat eaters, I served it with a side of bacon that I made.  I just made normal bacon and crumbled it up.  I tried to make sure this dish satisfied everyone no matter what kind of eater you are.

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jen

    My FAVORITE potato salad is one that I make with an olive oil/roasted garlic/chives dressing. To die for. But I love me some balsamic also! I’m sure this is amazing!

      It’s so simple and it’s the kind of salad that can sit out, so no refrigeration is required, perfect for outside.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
