Mom's Italian Potato Salad image

This is one of my favorite recipes handed down from my mom. The best thing is there are lots of vegetables and flavors, and it's usually a welcome change from standard American versions. The olives are the best part! To save time, I usually chop all the vegetables and make the dressing while the potatoes are boiling.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It was still delicious!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. It's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish.

Not a fan of parsley so I omitted it. Otherwise, this salad was a winner.

Didn't have any celery on hand so I used diced cucumbers instead. Turned out great!

This potato salad was a bit too tangy for my taste, even though I cut back on the vinegar. Otherwise, it was good.
