WOW!!! Sharon, this such a yummy twist on potato salad! I really like the addition of dill and cucumber! It makes the salad taste so fresh! Just plain YUMMY! :) I was very eager to see how everything would go together and especially curious about the addition of peas. But then somehow I forgot to add them in and didnt even notice until now. The salad in my opinion didnt need them. But Im sure theyd be a lovely addition. Since I luved this so much, Ill definitely make it again and then use the peas. THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this tasty recipe with us, Sharon! Made and reviewed for 1-2-3-Hit-Wonders Octobre 09.

This is a good potato salad. I used baby carrots (as that was all I had) so I boiled those in a seperate pot from the potatoes. I mixed all but the potatoes together and then, when they were ready, just added them in. I used fat free mayo and left out the dill because I was out. We did think this made a whole lot more then 4 servings. More like 8 -10 for a side dish.
