6. Add more Old Bay if needed, and serve warm or at room temperature.

This recipe is amazing! I had found it in Gourmet Mag, written it down, then lost it! I'm so happy to find it again. If you love salt and vinegar potato chips, you will love this recipe. And its lack of mayo makes it outdoor picnic friendly.

This was good--zingy and a nice switch from the usual mayonnaise based salads.
