This was pretty good. Felt like it was missing something though. I added some pushed salmon to this and made it a great meal. Next time perhaps I can add more herbs.

This is a great alternative to the mayo potato salad. I will be passing this recipe on to a few vegan friends. I really loved the bite from the lemon, and didn't find it to be too much at all. The creamy avacado made this dish! Made for ZWT 7.

We loved it!! My dad usually adds all the ingredients together,except potatoes for a dip. The addition of potatoes is wonderful! Made for Witchen Kitchen and ZWT7.

This was an interesting potato salad, my DH loved this potato salad as it didn't have hardboiled eggs in it which he hates. I liked it, but felt the lemon juice was a little overpowering, and I felt it needed some more herbs. I served it hot and added the avocados in at the last moment. Made for ZWT 2011.

I really loved this! After reading other reviews, I reduced the amount of lemon juice. My potatoes were small, so 1 avocado worked great for me in this recipe. I served this warm. Delicious! Thanks for sharing! Made for ZWT7
