Day 2 of the blogging marathon with theme “Summer Salads”. Potato salad is versatile and you can load it up with mayo, eggs, etc. or keep it simple. I have never bought mayo and was looking for recipes that do not use it. I stumbled upon this recipe and loved the ingredients used. I adapted it to suit my pantry and added my favorite ingredients like chickpeas. Also, I cooked the potatoes until they are just done and it can be changed according to taste. Recipe adapted largely from here. Off to the recipe.
