Summer Mayo-free Potato Salad

May 21, 2013 By Leanne Vogel November 29, 2018

Here in Canada, our long weekend was this past weekend. There were barbecues lit up everywhere, the smell of charcoal at every turn, and; because 3 days off warrants a visit from a special friend, Angela made the trek to Montreal to join in the long weekend festivities. We grilled to our hearts content, watched chick flicks, lit it up with a couple of rounds of Turbo Fire, and toured Montreal on foot. It was a grand time.

I’m guessing that most of you are ramping up for your very own long weekend.

Ya, it’s a bit far down the road than most of us would like, but it’s coming, and it’s going to be a good one.

Are you planning on having a barbecue? Maybe you’ve been invited to a friends’ home for dinner?

I have the perfect mayonnaise-free, healthy salad that you can take along with you. It’s easy to whip up, safe for many people with allergies, and it’s effortless. No potato peeling, no fancy ingredients.

This recipe is inspired by the salad that Renee, Kevin’s Mom, makes for us every time we get together. Her version is fantastic, but it takes far too long to make. Peel the potatoes, slice them into strips, saute, boil, cut, wash, ah! I’ve watched her make it and it ‘aint pretty. So many steps, so much time. So, I’ve massively simplified it (because I’m pretty lazy in the kitchen, believe it or not) and tried to do the original recipe justice.

And hey, potato skin is good for you, so… I’m doing our health a favor by keeping it on!
