This was ok, but I didn't like the taste of the sweet pickles mixed in with the olives. I don't think it had enough onion in it either. If I were to make it again I would add more. The green onions just didn't give it enough flavor.

What a great potato salad. I really enjoyed the addition of the the pickles and green olives. It was great with our brats for Memorial Day. Made for ZWT6.

I loved this potato salad. Never had potato salad with green olives in it before. Nice change. I served this with BBQ hamburgers and it was a big hit at our house. Thanks for the great recipe.
