Wow, this was a surprise! Have enjoyed oil and vinegar potato salads, as well as mayo-based ones; same goes for egg salads. But never all together at once. And it really worked. Used red wine vinegar (I know I would like the white wine vinegar too - next time) and a quarter of the Dijon, since what we have is very fresh and spicy, and it gave it a nice pungent flavor. Did not need to add any extra mayo. Everything blended so well here, yum yum. A new favorite.

Usually my partner likes very creamy salads, but he preferred this one because the flavouring is so nice. And to top it off, its low fat. Perfect for my low fat, low sodium diet.

May I say what a delicious potato salad this is. Out of all the recipes I looked at on zaar, I chose this one because of the oil n vinegar mix applied to the potatoes before everything else, which reduces the mayonnaise content. I used an entire medium yellow pepper in place of the green. Had it in the fridge for 6 hrs before I took it to a potluck. This recipe exceeded my expectations. Thanks, Kate in Ontario!
