Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better in salads and won't get mushy.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm, then drain and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and texture to your salad. Some good options include celery, carrots, peas, and radishes.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
