We ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS RECIPE- HOWEVER, WE DID ADD A LITTLE DUKES MAYO - ( BECAUSE WHATS SOUTHERN POTATO SALAD ( AVACADO POTATO SALAD OR NOT - IT MUST HAVE DUKE'S MAYO) AND WE ADDED FRESH TOMATOES- FROM OUR GARDEN SLICED in Chunks and a Jalapeno diced- And Most Importantly a Well Diced Vidalia Onion ( trick from my Grandmother to take the sting taste out of ANY ONION AND WILL NOT TASTE LIKE VINEGAR) SLICE YOUR ONION - HAVE A BOWL OF ICE WATER WITH 4 TABLESPOONS OF VINEGAR ADDED TO IT AND SOAK YOUR ONION SLICES ( BEFORE DICING THEM) LET THEM SOAK FOR 25 MINUTES- RINSE AND PAT DRY AND ADD TO ANY RECIPE!
