Serve Herb Garlic Potato Salad at Your Next Picnic

This Herb and Garlic Potato Salad recipe is made without mayonnaise making it a great choice for picnics and cookouts without worries.

I had a bunch of beautiful baby potatoes from my CSA recently and I wanted something a little different than traditional country potato salad. My 1970's edition of Joy of Cooking had an intriguing recipe with "French Dressing" .

When I flipped to the dressing recipe I realized it was a vinaigrette not the tomato based concoction that is sold here in America and labeled as "French".

The directions say to serve it "tepid". It was delicious cold, warm and even heated.
