A Nice Change

Bev Traxler from Lone Butte, BC

This recipe is a nice change from your regular potato salad. The red pepper and green beans add texture and taste. I also included four boiled eggs and with the summer ahead, will definately be making this recipe again.
Great Twist on a Traditional Picnic Food

Dawn Allen from SARASOTA, FL

I was looking for a "different" salad to take to a picnic that would appeal to adults and children alike. This was a huge HIT with everyone. Extremely easy to prepare and enjoyed by everyone.

What a great change from the "egg, pickle relish" recipe! This dish is better the next day. I've already passed it on to other family members and friends.

Very quick and easy. When you don't have any time to make a salad or side dish this is pretty, fast and easy.
Zesty potato salad a hit!

SUSAN DIEKMANN from KANSAS CITY, MO

This was a winner of a potato salad! It was easy to make, colorful, and delicious. We took this potato salad to our Sunday night dinner with family, and had no left-overs to take home.

kelly hall from Newport, TN

I loved this recipe. Tasty and easy. My family loved it. I will be making this again.
great side dish

courtney vance from Fort worth, TX

This potato salad is great as a side dish with an everyday dinner (like pork chops!). but, may want to add extra mustard...
Zesty Potato Salad

Karen Hill from Lava hot springs, ID

What I like about this recipe is the fact that it takes much less time to prepare than standard potato salad. Having potatoes cooked the day before makes this a last minute dish.
Zesty Potato Salad

Alice Keeney from STRONGSVILLE, OH

I used drained canned peas instead of green beans. It was pretty good and very filling, and looked very attractive. It would make a good potluck dish.
WOW!

Susan Diekmann from Lee's Summit, MO

This salad got the whole family to say "WOW!" It's pretty, tasty, and great for a summer gathering. We loved it!

This was good,but I took out the salt and it tasted just as good and better for the elderly on high blood pressure medicine.
Zesty Potato Salad

Barbara Dillarad from HOUSTON, TX

This recipe is much better than any I have ever tried. I used frozen green peas instead of the green beans. I took it to a pot luck lunch and everyone wanted the recipe.
zesty potato salad

billie curtis from Bakersfield, CA

I tried the recipe over the weekend when we did a cookout. It reminded me of a recipe my late sister used to make. Very tasty and I will be using the recipe again, putting a few more ingredients in. The family just loved it.
Refreshing Potato Salad

Henry Ackerman from Thornhill, ON

A new twist for a summer time Potato Salad. Innovative, refreshing and inexpensive, with a slide “French” flavor. I add some mayonnaise and tasted great. I will definitely make this recipe again!!!
Great side dish!

Mary Huey from CENTENNIAL, CO

My family really enjoyed this different take on the usual mayo and mustard potato salad I always make. I'll definitely be making this one again.
Healthy Choice

Nancy Oltman from HASTINGS, NE

This recipe is not only tasty, but very healthy. I am a diabetic so watch carbs and fat content. Red potatoes are the least starchy potato and of course the instant dried milk is low in fat. For all of that, the taste is fantastic--the best of both worlds.
zesty potato salad

Beckye Balderas from ROYSE CITY, TX

This was wonderful. For a little bit of a different taste try it with the butter potatoes, or you can use half red and half butter potatoes for the color. I loved the seasoning.
tasty salad

Mary Johnson from Woodward, OK

A wonderful & different twist on the plain old potato salad.
WOW

Kimberly Drinkwine from WICKENBURG, AZ

I'm not much of a salad eater because I don't like mayo or vinegar, so that leaves out most salad dressings. This was a great change of pace for potato salad. I really enjoyed it.
A little time consuming, but good.

DEBRA CHINWORTH from KENNESAW, GA

I made this for guests and it was a hit. It's colorful and best of all, it's fat free and it tastes good. I halved the recipe with excellent results.
Awesome Potato Salad Recipe

Marsha Downie from Washington State

I just wanted to say that this potato salad is so delicious!! I made it for us at the lake to share among our friends and everyone just loved it. It is so different from the usual way of potato salad but just as good. I had never heard of having green beans in a salad such as this but it was absolutely great! I did add a few things to this recipe and as a mistake I used mayonnaise in place of cream cause I had forgotten to get the cream at the store. It still worked out grand though.
Great

Wanda Barrett from OAKHURST, CA

This is a pretty and healthy salad makes a nice side for a meal.
Zesty Potato Salad

Jodean Myers from GIRARD, OH

This is wonderful my family is not big on mayo so this works out great for a potato salad. On hot days this is just the perfect touch to any light meal from steaks to hamburgers and hot dogs. I took this to work for a picnic and it was gone before the other potato salads!
A Keeper!

CARLA HUNTINGTON from SCHENEVUS, NY

Even my 17 year old son ate it! Great blending of flavors, easy to make. Can't wait to share it at our next get-together.
Zesty Potato Salad

Viola Grierson from O FALLON, MO

This is so easy to make and is great for a bar-b-que or with the Ladies Luncheon. Although my family like it with mayonnise they were willing to try it. The grandkids didn't like the green beans in it. Will make it again. :)
A Big Hit

carla lawrence from LEXINGTON, KY

I took this to my husbands company dinner and it was a big hit with everyone.
GREAT no cook dinner!

Ms. Blaschuk from FARMINGDALE, NY

We had this for dinner last night. I had some left over ham from the night before which I cut into small cubes and added to this salad. WOW! It was sensational. The first thing my husband said after looking at 'dinner' was, "I DO NOT NEED TO EAT ANOTHER FAT FILLED THING COVERED WITH MAYONAISE" - wasn't he surprised?! No mayo. By the way, he LOVED it! The milk and dijon dressing was such a nice change and the addition of the ham made it a great meal. This will be a family staple from now on!
ZESTY POTATO SALAD

LYNNE KRIEGER from YACOLT, WA

GREAT CHANGE FROM THE REGULAR POTATO SALAD. MY HUSBAND WON'T EAT GREEN BEANS. USE LIGHTLY STEAMED BROCCOLI INSTEAD. IT WAS A HIT.
Summer Pleasures

Lawrence Motzer from EAU CLAIRE, WI

Wow!

ANA BESSELLIEU from BRYN MAWR, PA

This salad so easy to make and would be so wonderful eating by itself on a nice cool day.
Zesty Potato Salad

Juanita Miller from TOLAR, TX

I received this in my email this morning and made it for lunch. I had all the ingredients already for another kind of potato salad, but made this one instead. I did add a few drops of hot sauce, because my family likes theirs spicy..It was a wonderful salad, will keep this and make it quite a lot. thanks,
nutrition

Jeanie Gallegly from TYLER, TX

I'm always concerned first with nutritional content when finding a new recipe. My family loved the taste and I loved the nutrition.
zesty potato salas

Wanda Moss from ROSENBERG, TX

This was a real taaster. The honey-dijon mustard really gave it a kick. And the greens with the potatoes gave a good balance of nutrients. I love salads and this will be put on my favorite list especially since I added aa few sprinkles of tony chachere to enhance the 'kick'.
Very different

PAMELA SCHIOPEN Jossi from Milwaukie, OR

This was a nice twist to the fattening traditional side.
Potato Salad

J. E. Cash from ARLINGTON, MA

There's two ways to make this. One as the recipe as written and for those of us who need our mayo in our potato salad by adding that ingredient to the basic recipe. Good both ways. I don't particularly like beans so I added uncooked frozen peas (thawed of course) and they were great in this recipe.

marianne williams from GRANTSBURG, WI

A little different taste. Good flavor. Will make this again.
A Real Crowd Pleaser!

CHARLES SPAHN from PLYMOUTH, MI

I made this salad today for a church luncheon. Not only did I love it, it got rave reviews from the people at church.
Zesty Potato Salad

Cynthia Wolf from CRESTON, IA

Nice twist to the usual potato salad recipes
pretty good potatoes

Judith Nelson from NORTH BRANCH, MN

I was glad to fine a potato salad recipe that does not include hard boiled eggs. I have children who don't like eggs, but they did like this.
A very good taste!

Martina Waldrup from ANTELOPE, CA

I made the salad, last night. my husband liked it, for me it was a kind of thick, maybe I will make more sauce on it, but it taste very good, I will make it again. Thank you for the recipe!!!! :-)
