__________________________________________________________

This creamy potato salad is just right for picnics or any outdoor events. The salad is best served cold so take some ice along to chill out and keep the salad out of direct sunlight. If you are not careful, the mayonnaise may turn stale under the hot and humid condition. Choosing of the potatoes is also important. Red potatoes are recommended due to the high moisture content. Ingredients may seem quite hard to prepare but it is actually less than half an hour work at worst. This is a delicious and light dish which your kids will take a liking to even if vegetables are not their favourite.
