Author Notes
Croatian Potato Salad has been part of my life for more years than I can remember. This potato salad was on the dining table at most family gatherings, especially BBQs, where it came a close second to anything from the grill.
If you’ve only ever had mayo based Potato Salads this is a must try alternative. I’m almost certain that you’ll be converted to the Croatian way.
This salad allows the simple potato to be the hero. Tossed in a fresh dressing of olive oil, garlic, vinegar, salt and pepper makes it light and fresh, but also a great carb to have on the side. It’s perfect as a BBQ salad, with some fish or veggie burgers. Actually, it’s so delicious and satisfying that you could almost have it on it’s own, or maybe with a little cheeky squeeze of tomato sauce on the side. —Helen Goodman
