This potato salad was so yummy! I'm always on the look out for potato salad with no mayo (egg allergy) so this was perfect. It had just the right amount of spice. Everyone in my family loved it, including picky husband and picky kids! We left out the bread due to a wheat allergy, and left out the lettuce (didn't have any) and it was delicious. Will definitely be hanging on to this recipe.
