Healthier Potato Salad Recipe

Create a healthier potato salad recipe inspired from  your garden that’s so easy your kids can make it with you!  Our kid friendly summer recipes will be a hit in the backyard this summer with your family.

Here’s how to make this loaded potato salad.  

In preparation for theOrlando Food and Wine Conference next month, I am challenging myself to enter the amazing conference contests.  It is safe to say that I am a little out of my element when sharing my recipes with you.

In fact, I’m down right intimidated.

Have you seen the amazing food bloggers pictures and recipes???  Can you say WOW and YUM???  Here I am, cooking away in the kitchen with my three kiddos on a regular basis and having the time of my life.  We’re creating our own recipes and making things up as we go. I’m trying to make healthier choices while still creating kid-friendly meals.

Potatoes in the garden, ready to be harvested. FUN!  Send the kiddos out to dig them up and create something with what we have for dinner.  Yup, that’s my formal chef training – real life.

The reality is, that I am not a master chef, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE cooking, especially with my kids.  And so, I will share some of my self-created recipes with you.  Today – the VEGGIE LOADED POTATO SALAD.  My husband inhaled it and the kids ask for more. If I can get my family to eat a wider variety of vegetables, maybe it will help you too!

And, I’ll even enter it into the Davidson’s Safest Choice Eggs, No-Bake Summer Recipe contest!  Follow Safest Choice Eggs on Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest
