Non-Mayo Potato Salad

This is a yummy potato salad for those of us who cannot stand mayonnaise. This comes from Southern Living, and is great for cookouts and such (I am taking it to a pig roast tonight as a side dish).

• Ready In: 8 hrs 40 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 4  lbs new potatoes
• 1⁄4 cup white wine vinegar
• 2  garlic cloves
• 1  teaspoon sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground pepper
• 3⁄4 cup olive oil
• 2  tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
• 2  tomatoes, fresh, large, and chopped
• 1⁄3 cup purple onion, chopped
• 8  slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Directions

1. Cook potatoes in boiling water to cover 25 to 30 minutes or just until tender; drain and cool. Cut potatoes in half, and set aside.
2. Process vinegar and next 4 ingredients in a blender, stopping to scrape down sides. Turn blender on high, and gradually add oil in a slow, steady stream. Stir in chopped basil.
3. Place potato, tomatoes, and onion in a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing; toss gently. Cover and chill 8 hours. Top with crumbled bacon just before serving.
