1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

1/2 cup thinly sliced celery

Place potatoes into a large heavy-bottomed pot. Cover with cold water and place over medium heat. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat and remove lid. Gently simmer until potatoes are fork tender. Drain and place into an ice bath to cool. Remove skin by rubbing with a tea towel. Slice potatoes into rounds and place into a zip top bag. Add the vinegar and toss to coat all of the potatoes. Place the bag into the refrigerator overnight.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, parsley, tarragon, garlic, cornichons, onions, and celery. Once evenly combined, add the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.

Answer 3

I love this stuff and cannot say I have ever tasted bad potato salad due to the good cooks like my mom that make it.

For Christmas dinner I was asked to bring "ambrosia". Love this also but never in my life made it. I discovered a website, www.cook.com. I followed all directions and it was a "hit". Try it, I have heard good things from others.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aNHXV

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 6

TRY THIS ONE:



You Won’t Know It’s Not Potato Salad
You just might be fooled by the cauliflower sneaking into the veggie-packed salad in place of potatoes!

INGREDIENTS
4 eggs
2 bags (1 lb each) frozen cauliflower florets
1 bag (10 oz) Cascadian Farm® organic frozen peas & carrots
1 3/4 cups reduced-fat mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 cup chopped celery (2 1/2 stalks)
2/3 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium)

DIRECTIONS
1. In 2-quart saucepan, place eggs in single layer; add enough cold water to cover eggs by 1 inch. Cover; heat to boiling. Remove from heat; let stand covered 15 minutes. Drain eggs. Immediately run cold water over eggs until completely cooled. Peel and chop eggs.
2. Meanwhile, in large (4-quart) microwavable bowl, place frozen cauliflower and frozen peas and carrots; cover with microwavable waxed paper. Microwave on High 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through microwaving. Drain vegetables in colander; rinse with cold water to cool. Place colander over same large bowl; refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until cooled.
3. In small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sugar, salt, pepper, 1/8 teaspoon of the paprika, the vinegar and mustard; set aside.
4. Remove vegetables from refrigerator; discard any liquid in bowl. Pat drained vegetables dry with paper towels; chop any large cauliflower pieces into 3/4-inch chunks to resemble chopped potatoes. Place cauliflower, peas and carrots in same bowl. Add celery, onion and chopped eggs.
5. Pour mayonnaise mixture over salad; stir until vegetables and eggs are well coated. Sprinkle remaining 1/8 teaspoon paprika over salad. If desired, cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or until well chilled before serving.
