Outdoor Potato Salad
"This is in fact a deconstruction of a new deli salad from a popular grocery chain in Minnesota. I made a few shortcuts that I could not verify, but who knows ?? All I know is that I offer you a hot weather potato salad with heat safe ingredients that does not contain eggs or dairy."

My family loves potato salad, but am always weary about mayo based salads at BBqs and picnics. We usely opt for german style. This was wonderful and if the empty bowl is any indication, think that it will be The Potato salad of choice. Thank you for sharing. -
I'm very honored to be the first to review this delectable concotion Bill! Brother William and I work together for the same company and last week was our annual picnic/potluck bash. Bill had told me he was going to make this salad. I have tasted the grocery store version, so I was eager to try Bill's. It is a lovely marriage of ingredients, and the color combination of the green and red peppers, the black of the olives is very pleasing. Just a personal preference, I would use a smaller amount of Italian dressing when I make this, and believe me I will! This is THE perfect salad to make and transport in the dog days of summer! You can let it sit out without fear of it coming back to haunt you or your guests! Thanks again Bill!

Some of you know me as Brother William. No, I am not really a Monk, but I have grown to enjoy my simple and solo lifestyle. My love for humanity is based on fellowship rather than sensuality.
I PROMISE that I will never share a recipe unless I have tasted the food. Most of the recipes are mine, but I have included a few classics, and some recipes that were written by very creative people, that are just so good that I had to share. From time to time I have found recipes with my name on them in print magazines, but they are always altered in some way by the publisher. So there is no reason why you should not add your own personal touch. If you leave this page with just one thought, I hope that it would be that Cooking is a Creative Sport.
I grew up in Glenview Illinois, just north of Chicago. My Mother loved those little exotic cookbooks, that were sold as a weekly series in grocery stores in the 1950's. I was taught to eat whatever was put on my plate so I ate food from a different culture every week. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be Mediterranean. After leaving my Mother's table, I have lived and enjoyed eating in Colorado, Missouri, Montana and Nebraska, before settling in Saint Cloud, Minnesota in 1975.
After a 30 year marriage with mixed reviews, I am now pleasantly single again, and plan to stay that way. Up until recently, I had occupied my evenings just talking with people and sometimes sharing recipes, while soliciting donations for Non-Profit Organizations. Yes .. that's right, for over 20 years, I was a Telemarketer. The perfect job for a Taurus.
I enjoy reading cook books the same way most people read novels,and I am still improving my skills in the art of Solo Cooking. However; my true passion will always be sharing my favorite recipes with all of you.
