Looking for a great potato salad for this weekends Fourth of July festivities? Well, look no further. This lightened up version of a potato salad is perfect for big BBQ’s and parties this weekend and it will stay good all day long! Especially because there is no mayo in it – which means it can hang out on the buffet table for as long as you need along with all your other Fourth of July goodies like, Chipotle Guacamole, Strawberry Basil Lemonade, and BBQ Baby Back Ribs!
This potato salad consists of 3 fabulous parts. 1, the potatoes. I like the use dutch baby potatoes because they nice and creamy and you don’t have to peel the skins! 2, the scallions. These little bites of freshness just make the salad pop. 3, the champagne shallot vinaigrette. It’s a winner. And you’ll want to eat it on just about everything once you’ve tried it.
