Potato Salad with Balsamic Dressing

By 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!
