AVOCADO POTATO SALAD
I got this potato salad recipe from a friend who got it from an adapted recipe from the California Avocado Commission. It's a wonderful recipe, that is lighter because the wonderful tangy dressing substitutes for mayo in most salads such as this. Lots of wonderful flavors, textures, and colors! You may serve this at room temperature, but it is best covered tightly and chilled for 1 to 3 hrs before serving. Can be prepared up to three hours in advance before serving.

Steps:
- 1. Place potatoes in a kettle or large saucepan and cover with cold water, so that they are covered by at least 2 inches of water. Cover and bring to a boil; add a little salt and reduce heat to simmer potatoes for 8-10 minutes; until they are fork tender and not mushy. Drain and set aside. Combine avocado dip, salad dressing and salt, whisking to blend ingredients. Set aside. Dice potatoes to bite size pieces; add celery, eggs, cheese, chopped broccoli ,green onions and bacon to the potatoes. Pour avocado mixture over potato mixture and fold mixture together to blend and coat ingredients. Pour into serving bowl and sprinkle with a bit of grated cheese..Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Use ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure. Unripe avocados will be hard and green, while overripe avocados will be mushy and brown inside.
- Cook the potatoes correctly: Boiling the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape is crucial. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart in the salad.
- Use a light hand with the dressing: The dressing should complement the flavors of the avocado and potato, not overpower them. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more to taste.
- Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
This avocado potato salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy avocado, tender potatoes, and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
