Potato, Egg and Peanut Salad
I am still on the party trail, getting a little weary now but still going!! Rinku was so kind to bring over this Potato, Egg and Peanut Salad recipe, one that I know you will love.
I have met Rinku through a FB page called Food Bloggers Network, one that brings bloggers together to ask questions and offer help to each other.
We have for you today, the last day of Stampede an excellent potato salad with a little twist, a peanut twist!! YUM!! What a great idea!!
Come and check out this great recipe now. ENJOY!!
I LOVE potatoes and love them in their pristine simplest forms, such as in Potato Salads comfortingly luscious mashed potatoes almost all times of the year.
With the warmer weather inviting us for picnics, cookouts, and grilling, I look for potato salads. What is summer after all without the joys of a simple potato salad?
As with all my cooking, I need a little spark and just a small amount of local flavor. A few weeks ago, when I came across a few lovely bunches of spring onions, this potato salad was born.
Lighter than some potato salads, this salad mixes yogurt and mayonnaise for a dressing with some pep from the spring onions, minced jalapeno peppers, and minced cilantro.
Some days, when the mercury soars you also look for something that is hearty and complete just by itself and this salad will not disappoint!
With crunchy peanuts and chopped eggs, this salad combines the comfort of potatoes with eggs this salad offers you the option to make this a complete meal if you choose to.
