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!

      Thanks Lauren! I like my Potato salad this way much better, but my Hubby likes it with mayo better, lots and lots of mayo! I swear he could just eat the stuff out of the jar. Yuck!

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

      I couldn’t agree more! I like creamy, but not fattening and honestly I like most of my vegetables with a simple light dressing.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
