All-American Loaded Baked Potato Salad
This amazing loaded potato salad is a great twist on two all-American favorites — the potato salad and the loaded baked potato. Served cold, this has been a crowd-pleaser at our many family functions and is often requested. Even people who don't normally love potato salad seem to love this!
Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette
When Meyer lemons are in season, typically between November and March, be sure to snag some to make this Meyer lemon vinaigrette. Meyer lemons are much less tart and acidic than traditional lemons; they're like a cross between a lemon and a mandarin. They're also sweeter, so no additional sugar is needed. I love this on kale salad, but also drizzled over roasted veggies or grilled salmon or trout.
