Potato Salad with Kalamata-Hazelnut Vinaigrette
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 15 min. + chilling
YIELD: 10 servings.
Potato salad tossed with vinaigrette has a lighter taste than traditional mayo versions. I add velvety avocado and hazelnuts for cool texture and crunch. —Laurie Bock, Lynden, Washington
