Italian Potato Salad

 

When you think of potato salad it’s usually cold and mixed with a lot of mayo, right? That is not what I grew up having as a child and when I ever tasted a mayonnaise-y potato salad I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t a taste I was used to. My mom would serve this potato salad warm. This is more my preference and it also has a lot less calories than using mayonnaise anyway.

You could certainly have it cold if that’s what you’re used to. But I guarantee you will enjoy the flavors in this just as much as the typical potato salad, dare I say, maybe even more!

If you do refrigerate, I would suggest just warming the dish up slightly to get the olive oil to be a liquid again.

Some wonderful add-ins for this would be edamame, chickpeas or cannelini beans, cherry tomatoes or even some yummy black olives!
