In contrast to the earlier reviewers, my husband and I really did not care for the dish. I made this salad exactly according to the recipe. As I write more potatoes are boiling for another batch. I was a little sceptical of the OJ when I first read the recipe, but it was not too overpowering and blended very nicely. It's light and a nice change from the usual mayonaise style potato salad. I served this dish at a family barbacue and got raves. It is a great do-ahead dish, and since my husband doesn't usually help with the cooking, this is definitely a keeper! He has since made it twice as a side dish for dinner parties. I originally tried ths dish when green beans were plentiful in our garden. I'm sure this dish would be perfect for a Bar-B-Que side dish. The dressing has a nice lite fresh taste. Plus the green and red colors made this dish look very festive for the holidays. It was very easy to make and a nice change from the usual cold salads normally served. I agree with the previous reviewer who found the dressing bland. I do not use all of the dressing though, just dress lightly. I'm getting ready to make it for a party next weekend. It's always received great reviews from my guests. I've used Haricort Vert, blood orange juice and grape seed tomatoes. Wow, I was surprised to see the low reviews on this recipe as I love it! Have made it quite a few times, particularly spring and summer. It was a great dish for a warm summer evening. By the end of the evening 5 had asked for the recipe. I made this dish to take to my womens group get together. I get rave reviews every time I make this dish!įantastic recipe! i added crumbled feta as suggested by one reviewer below and it tasted better!! It came together quickly and looked great. That said, however, this salad is wonderful! It's a salad nicoise without the tuna. The line at the end to salt and pepper always leads to me underseasoning-I wish the recipe directed me to put in a specific amount of salt and pepper along with the other ingredients. I think the dressing is bland (as previous raters said) if you underseason. I added chopped red onions, and next time, I will add some dijon mustard. I also think it was rather bland, missing the oomph. My first potato salad ever and what a hit!ĭefinately need fresh ingredients. Made this for friends and everyone wanted the recipie. Topped it off with some Asiago cheese and served it in a tall clear glass bowl which made a great presentation. I used Tarragon infused White Wine Vinegar, and added some fresh garlic. This was so easy to make and is really wonderful if you make the dressing separately and add a few things to it. So easy and different then the typical potato salad. Sometimes I ignore the dressing portion and just toss with olive oil and light vinegar (like champagne). Very easy, and tastes great even if you don't have capers at home. Great recipe for a simple lunch or light supper salad. It takes a little time to blanche everything but it's worth it! Last for days too! I add fresh basil and use fresh orange zest. I have made this for numerous wedding/baby showers and it's always raved awesome! Love this recipe! So colorful, light but filling and fresh.
