Very good potato salad. I liked all the veggies and the subtle flavor of the chipotle.

I loved all the veggies and the smoky dressing with a little bit of sweet. Very good salad. Thanks and good luck!

This is a great twist on potato salad. I liked that there are a lot of veggies in it, and the smokey flavor from the chipotle. I thought it ened up being just a tad to spicy.And the mayo and yogurt aren't exactly safe choices for a picnic salad. I will use these flavora again for a potato salad though!
