I was inspired by a recipe I read somewhere in the far distant past to create this. It's easy to make. A twist on an old favorite.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Light and fresh, this is not your average potato salad. There is no mayonnaise in the recipe, so Feta cheese adds a bit of creaminess to the side dish. Filled with Kalamata olives, lemon juice, and parsley, it's super flavorful. Enjoy this lighter potato salad warm or cold alongside grilled burgers, chicken, steaks, or salmon this summer.
