Cucumber Potato Salad

Submitted by AmyZoe

"Although it's called cucumber potato salad, the recipe doesn't even call for cucumbers. It calls for cucumber dressing. I think next time this would be good if you threw in a few cucumbers too. This recipe serves 36 and is designed for large gatherings. I made 1/5th of the recipe or so and was pleasantly surprised at the flavor of the cucumber dressing. I must confess that I added a few hard-boiled eggs, used the celery ribs and the leaves, threw in some dill pickle juice, and I couldn't resist a few crunchy garlic dill pickles in the mixture. The recipe is great just by itself, but I love dill pickles and eggs in potato salad.

I also found this on TOH. I have been making this for a few years now. Everyone who has tried it, absolutely loves it! I've handed out this recipe plenty! It's different and very easy to make; even though my husband prefers eggs in his salad, he even admits this is good without ... it's my go to summer barbecue/potluck recipe!
