LEMON VINAIGRETTE POTATO SALAD



Lemon Vinaigrette Potato Salad image

I developed this recipe for a friend who needed a potato salad that could withstand Fourth of July weather. The vinaigrette was a safe and delicious alternative to traditional mayonnaise-based potato salads. I've also substituted fresh thyme for the basil. Any fresh herbs would be great! -Melanie Cloyd, Mullica Hill, New Jersey
