Avocado Potato Salad image

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.

This salad is a bit too mayo-heavy for my taste. I would cut back on the mayo next time.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover avocado. I always have a few avocados that are about to go bad, so this salad is a perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of avocado, but I really enjoyed this salad. The avocado flavor was subtle and it didn't overpower the other ingredients.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I had some mashed potatoes from the night before and they worked perfectly in this salad.

Tried this recipe last night and it was delicious! I used a bit less mayo than the recipe called for, and it was still plenty creamy. Will definitely make again.
