Instead of a heavy mayonnaise dressing, we’ve lightened up potato salad by using our Blue Menu California Dressing. We’ve also used nutritious sweet potatoes, with high amounts of Vitamins A and C and antioxidant beta carotene.

Chef's Tips

Red onions are milder than yellow cooking onions, and are a good choice for use raw in a salad. Substitute a sweet onion, such as Vidalia, if you prefer.
