(Recipe) 3 Organic Potato Salad Recipes
Shaking things up
No offense to grandma, but her potato salad is a bit old-school. Make it modern with three flavorful recipes to shake up your spuds. The flavors take you around the world from Asia to the Mediterranean, but every dressing starts with a scoop of coconut oil mayo, made with cage-free eggs and superfood coconut oil. The only decision you have to make is which recipe to start with!
