Making Potato salad For Picnic and Daily Meals

Posted on May 22nd, 2009

Most of the are familiar with potato salad as it has long been the standard at family picnics and other summer activities. Everyone has their own concept of ways to make it though , and if you look thru cookery books and through recipe sites online, you’re going to find masses of different recipes from which to pick. Some like a very simple salad, and others like to have something with additional work involved. It’s been about for a long time, and will generally always be well-liked for summer meals.

The basics of potato salad are potatoes, naturally, mayo, and onion. However, when I make it, there is no onion added. I think it ruins the flavour of the salad, but almost everyone disagrees with me on that point. If I make it for a picnic, I bring a bowl of onions with me so if someone wants them, all they must do is splatter them on their portion. I also like to add boiled and cut eggs to my potato salad, and most say that they suspect it adds a great taste. If my husband has his way, he adds some Miracle Whip, but I customarily stop him before he can get that far.

Others like to use more inspired recipes for potato salad, and I believe it frequently relies on how someone was raised. We frequently like foods the way we grew up with them, and that implies trying something new, like a different tasting potato salad, is a bit frightening. Some dive in and find something new to love, and others will avoid anything that they aren’t familiar with. I’m afraid that I am one of the avoiders, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think people should make and share whatever recipe they like and know well.

If you’re looking for new ways to enjoy potato salad, you only have to look as far as your PC. Recipe sites have thousands of recipes to share, and there are always quite a few for potato salad. Some even make a great low carb salad using cauliflower instead of the white potato so they can enjoy the same foods as everyone else when out at a picnic. There are also cookbooks out there that have tons of different concepts for this salad, and some that are even dedicated to the summer meals that might include this and other traditional fare.
