This was scrumptious! What a lovely marriage of flavors. I can't pick out any one thing that is special, because everything is great just the way it is. Thnx for posting, Adessa.

Lovely tasting potato salad! Loved the taste of the marinade, and the bonus of the creamy taste. It was a little "runny", but I probably didn't drain mine well enough! Made for PAC Spring 2010.

Oh what a surprise! Putting two of my favorite salads together... brilliant! I love marinated cucumbers (mom did it all the time growing up) & I love creamy potato salad. This combination of the two is really refreshing. It was so simple to throw together too. DH & DS(15) both said it was the addition of cucumber that really made this salad pop. DD(2) is eating it again for breakfast... hey, when you got a picky toddler you gotta feed them whatever they'll eat! We will be making this one again. Thanks for sharing Adessa! Adopted from the PAC Spring 2008 orphanage.

Reviewed for PAC Fall 2007 I LOVE this recipe...I think what really makes it for me is allowing the cukes,onion and potato to marinate in the vinaigrette. Thanks Adessa!
