Summer Vegetable Potato Salad is a delicious side dish packed with all kinds of summer vegetables. Perfect with anything that you grill!
I can’t believe that we are smack dab in the middle of summer. Oh, how time flies especially this summer when things have been so busy, busy, busy!
Last week, I hosted a small dinner party that included my parents and my Auntie Debbie who was in town visiting from Brooklyn. I wanted to keep it simple and decided to do some smoking on my Traeger. Well, in all reality, I don’t do anything simple. I ended up smoking some bone-in chicken breasts and a whole pork shoulder! I served the chicken breasts for dinner and shredded the pork and made some green chili and froze the rest for another time! I love how that works!
I guess my “keep it simple” attitude did keep true a little bit. I just made this Summer Vegetable Potato Salad as a side. I really shouldn’t say “just” though because this isn’t just any ol’ potato salad. I packed this one with tons of crisp summer vegetables including corn, cucumber, green onions and tons of fresh dill and kept it on the lighter side by mixing mayonnaise and sour cream to keep it all together. Boy did this turn out tasty. I love adding extra vegetables whenever possible and adding them to a potato salad just works! Give it a try, it may be a new “go to” potato salad recipe for you.
Potato salad is such a great side dish for anything that you can grill. Check out the links below! I included some old posts that just scream “I need potato salad” to go with me! Haha. Some of my favorite rib and burger recipes from the past.
Enjoy!
I made my Summer Vegetable Potato Salad and served it a second time with fresh Polidori sausage made right here in Denver. Tasty!
