Summertime is here and along with your favorite macaroni salad, baked beans, pasta salad, and bbq…a classic potato salad is a must for the season. There are so many varieties of potato salad out there, but I love a classic potato salad that has good texture and just the right amount of dressing coating each bite. Potato salad is the perfect dish for backyard entertaining, picnics, and potlucks because everyone loves it! My recipe for classic potato salad is one that you are going to be making time and time again.
In case you were wondering, I am still here! Sorry for the radio silence, but I took some time off because my hubby and I were in Hawaii celebrating our ten year anniversary! I decided to put work to the side and just focus on the two of us, and it was so nice! And now that we are back, I cannot believe that it is already June! (The year is passing so quickly already, right?) That means summer is just around the corner and backyard BBQ's are in full effect! My avocado crema slaw is the perfect side dish to make all summer long!
Summer is right around the corner and it's my favorite time of year for produce! Tomatoes in particular are at their peak and can most definitely shine on their own during this time. I love creating simple dishes when ingredients are so good that they just don't need that much more added to them! When BBQ season and outdoor entertaining are in full swing, I love bringing lighter and healthier dishes to the table to balance out the rest of the spread. My new favorite dish that I will be making all summer long is my garlic and dill tomato salad with cornbread croutons!
I don't know about you, but when summer rolls around the last thing that I want to do is use my oven in any capacity. The air conditioner is already running 24/7 to keep the house at a reasonable temperature, and the last thing I want to do is add any heat to the mix! I am all about easy summer salads that I can grill up a protein to pair with it and call it done-so! My spicy peach and corn summer salad is my new obsession because it's spicy, sweet, and full of textures that you are going to love!
