Lightened up potato salad with a smoked paprika dressing is a must-have at your next BBQ. This fresh & flavorful dish is the perfect side to any meal.
Potato Salad with Smoked Paprika Dressing
Me personally, I’m all about the sides when it comes to big meals and with summer barbecues in full swing, everyone needs a simple potato salad to add to the table.
This smokey potato salad with corn & fresh herbs is so easy to make and packed with flavor. It’s a lightened up version of the classic potato salad, with some added spice for extra flavor.
While I do enjoy a classic potato salad, I love this version that uses a combination of mayo and olive oil. It’s a great way to still get a creamy dressing, without the mayo overpowering the taste.
I’ve made this recipe twice in the past two weeks, and it’s been a hit every time. We love it with grilled salmon and a fresh summer salad.
