My most requested summer recipe is wonderful warm, cold or at room temperature. Because the potato salad is dressed with a vinaigrette, not mayonnaise, it's ideal for outdoor occasions. —Robin Jungers, Campbellsport, Wisconsin

Tip

Fresh Mozzarella Facts

Compared to the more firm texture of most commercially produced mozzarella, fresh mozzarella is soft and moist. The flavor is mild, delicate and somewhat milky. Fresh mozzarella is usually shaped into balls and stored in brine. After buying fresh mozzarella, it should be refrigerated in the brine and eaten within a few days.

This salad was a hit with all of our family. My husband already said I'll need to make this again. We think it's good enough for a main course.

It was ok, i think i will try the feta cheese next time.

I wasn't able to use a grill so I cooked everything in a skillet and it turned out pretty decent! Although I think that feta could add to this dish like the previous comments, I really loved the mozzarella. And just make sure to have bite size pieces!

I'm not one for potato salads that have a heavy dressing and was glad to see one that look refreshing. It seemed like an awful lot of chopping. The salad itself wasn't terrible, but didn't "WOW" me in the taste department. It was more like a chopped salad with the addition of grilled potatoes.

I made this twice a few summers ago and absolutely love it!! It is such a great alternative to the traditional mayo based potato salad. This is a must have for any picnic!

I left out the olives and used feta instead of mozzarella. This was definitely a winner - it had a lot of flavor and with all those fresh veggies, it had a very summery taste. This will definitely make an appearance at my next barbecue!

Excellent recipe. Really enjoyed the fresh vegetables with the grilled potatoes... the use of olive oil was also great

This is fabulous! The only thing I did differently was that I used feta cheese instead of mozzarella to make the salad more Greek!

It is the onion not the mayo that becomes toxic when left out.

Greek vinaigrette mix can be purchased from Penzeys Spices, (Penzeys.com), a do-not miss company! Better, fresher than those dressing packets from the stores! The have the best spices and mixes that will make all your recipes winners! I don't cook with any other spices!

I love this salad. I could eat it every week!

My sister made this for graduation. She added the potatoes when they were still warm and the cheese melted a little bit. It was the best potato salad I have ever had. It has become a family favorite

this is a delicious salad - I didn't use the cheese as I had two types of meat with the meal. Next time I will include the cheese.

Feta! Not mozzeralla as Ahalf suggests is what this recipe needs.

Reviewed on Jun. 17, 2009 by Ahalf

This salad cries for Feta cheese rather than the mozzarella.

i got my grill basket at a pampered chef party - works great

Reviewed on Jun. 17, 2009 by lynn75

Hello.  There are 2 grill baskets on the website at Lowe's Home Improvement Store, although one is called a "shaker basket."  Hope this helps.

Please, where do I find Greek vinaigrette? Or, how do I make it? Thanks!

EXCELLENT and will be making this salad again and again. I made it exactly as directed although the next time I will replace the mozzarela cheese with feta for I and my family feel it imparts more flavor.
