    Perfect Dish for Any Occasion

    Barbecues, potlucks, picnics, and Sunday dinners are perfect occasions to introduce this salad. Our dear friend Marilyn first made it for us, then shared the recipe. It was an instant hit with our family! Who could resist the vibrant colors and flavors of this summery dish?

    Yukon Gold Potatoes

    We start with slightly sweet Yukon Gold potatoes. These potatoes have a smooth texture and add a creaminess to the salad.

    The Extras

    We like the elements of shredded (par-cooked) carrots, peas, cilantro and onion. The real highlights are the chopped jalapeno, which add as much kick as you can take!

    Oooh! That Dressing!

    The dressing really pulls it all together. We add lime juice and lime zest to mayonnaise and sour cream along with a few other spices. Next, we mash part of the potatoes and add them to the dressing mixture. It's a real standout!
