The warm weather has finally arrived! Do you know what that means? BBQ season! Yes, it’s time to invite your friends and family over for some delicious food, great company and maybe a water balloon fight or two. One way that I know summer is on its way is the delicious smell of the BBQ food throughout the neighbourhood. Do you make a delicious burger? Perhaps you have a recipe for a pasta salad that can’t be beat. One of my favourites is always the potato salad and with the BBQ season now here it is time to try some new potato salad recipes.
My favourite place to go for new recipe ideas is LifeMadeDelicious.ca. All of the recipes are easy to follow and they all include a delicious picture. So with a little search on “potato salad recipes”, I came up with two new recipes to try and I’ll share them both here with you.
