Dee-Licious. I also made a half amount for 2 people. I'll admit to skipping the mint (DH would not have touched it with mint). It's 32-C today and this has been chilling most of the day waiting for dinner but I had to sample, right? ....yummm! It is just the thing to go with grilled or bbq'ed meat. You ahead, indulge, you know you want to.

I made half of the recipe for the two of us and we loved it. The mint was a nice addition and one I wouldnt normally have thought of but it worked great for this potato salad. The dressing is very good and liked the addition of the shallots. Made and reviewed for ZWT8 - 2012.

Outstanding potato salad. This is one feisty, in your face kind of salad. I guess its the herbs. Love it!
