  1. Vinaigrette potato salads are definitely our thing, so we really enjoyed this. I would not add mayo to this. I added a little extra vinegar. The green beans and olives are a really nice addition to it.
     
  2. This is fantastic! Mayo is one of the few foods I absolutely can't stand, so it was great to find a good vinaigrette potato salad! Definatly my favorite of the ones I've tried. I used 6 cloves of garlic instead of two, and it had a wonderful flavor. I highly reccomend this dish!
     
  3. This is a tangy salad. I'd prefer a creamier dressing, so next time I'll stir in a dallop of mayo. The kalamata olives are a nice touch, and set this salad apart. I used regular onions, so to take off the edge that raw onions have, I roasted most, but not all, of the onion slices on top of the potatoes for the last 5 minutes.
     
  4. I had already par boiled some baby red potatoes and cooked some green beans last night when I found this recipe. I roasted the potatoes a very short time in the oven until they were done and then proceeded with recipe. As a preference, used only one clove of garlic. The dressing was outstanding and we really enjoyed this. Thanks so much for sharing it, Evelyn.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
