Summertime Potato Salad

It is also a great salad to serve with a favorite sandwich at lunchtime during those hot summer days. There are so many ways to make this classic salad!

  1. Hi Sharon~ Terre was kind enough to show me all of the recipes, and some of them were outstanding! The home remodel is quite lovely and looks contemporary. I love your dining room. You have been quite a busy girl, and that is a trait I’ve always admired you for- your talent.
    Things here have been well, however, of course I miss my home. The worst part has been that I had to put my beloved cat, Maxie to sleep-long story.
    I hope you and George are doing well.
    love, Elizabeth, your friend always XOXO
