Creamy Bacon Potato Salad
If someone asked me what summer means to me, I’d have a lot to say…
Summer is about relaxing, having fun, being outdoors, enjoying our favorite activities 🏌️♀️🚴♀️, entertaining, visiting & exploring new places, etc. It’s basically enjoying the simple things in life!
As you may know, every year, David and I grow 👩🌾👨🌾 a Garden. It’s not the “Green Acres” but it’s big enough to have plenty of herbs and some tomatoes as well. Of course, I would like to have a bigger garden where I can grow a wide variety of fresh produce but on the other hand, I think the garden we grow every year is big enough for us. When I cook, what I enjoy the most is using fresh herbs and produce. It brings the recipes to a whole new level of freshness and the food tastes incredible!
There’s a lot of entertaining during the summer time, more so than the rest of the year. With backyard parties, receptions, days at the beach, potlucks, gatherings of family & friends, picnics and barbecuing 🔥, there are certain foods that we certainly expect to enjoy and one of them is salad!
In this episode, I’m sharing with you my popular Creamy Bacon Potato Salad! As simple as it sounds, this salad is awesome! It has just enough zip to it to set it apart from others. I use a lot of different herbs 🌿 from my garden and this alone makes this dish fresh and delicious!
In the ingredients listed below, there is mayonnaise, Miracle Whip and prepared mustard. You can substitute all these ingredients with only one 😉… my Homemade Dijonnaise. Add 1/2 cup of Dijonnaise instead of those three and continue with the rest of the ingredients.
There’s another ingredient that makes this recipe so tasty and it’s cooked bacon 🥓! The saltiness and smokiness enhance many dishes including this Creamy Bacon Potato Salad! Here’s the way I cook mine without any mess… Oven Baked Bacon • Best Way to Cook Bacon
This is one of my favorite “summer comfort foods”. It goes so well with many dishes and it’s one of those recipes that never gets “old”. I get many compliments on it and when my friends & family see my Creamy Bacon Potato Salad on the menu, they’re thrilled! After giving it a try, you’ll see just how flavorful this side dish really is! Here’s another incredibly similar recipe that is amazingly flavorful… my Moroccan Potato Salad!
