Simple Potato Salad
I figured I’d do a series of picnic/BBQ-style recipes for the next few weeks since Memorial Day and July 4th are approaching. This is also the time of year that our family packs a picnic-to-go on Sunday mornings for a BBQ in a scenic spot following church. This has become a really special regular outing for our family. In years past we’ve enjoyed taking a drive up to the White Mountains (of NH) for the BBQ picnic, but the last couple of weeks we’ve enjoyed a stream-side spot near Billings Farm Museum in Woodstock, VT. Our picnic/BBQ usually consists of potato or pasta salad (made from gluten-free pasta), homemade baked beans (to be posted soon. If you’ve got to have it now, you can instantly download it plus about 70 other great recipes from my Good and Easy Eats cookbook for just $4.99), some gluten-free chips or crackers, some veggies for grilling (onion, zucchini, yellow squash, etc.) and usually veggie burgers.
This potato salad has a traditional mayonnaise-style dressing. There are a number of organic, expeller-pressed oil-based mayonnaises on the market now. If eggs aren’t a problem for you, there are also some good quality egg-and-oil-based mayonnaise options as well.
Simple Potato Salad
6-8 potatoes, cubed
3 celery ribs, sliced
up to 1/2 sweet or red onion, diced
opt: 1 chopped cucumber
3/4 cup (expeller-pressed oil) mayonnaise*
2 tsp. raw apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp. ground paprika or mustard powder
1/4 tsp. unrefined sea salt
opt: 2 tsp. prepared mustard (like stoneground dijon)
Boil potatoes until tender, then drain and let cool. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl, then gently mix in the potatoes. Refrigerate before serving.
* you can substitute my recipe for homemade Almond Mayonnaise for store-bought mayonnaise.

This recipe sounds really good. Unfortunately the link to the Almond Mayonnaise says that the page no longer exists. Is it possible to post the almond mayonnaise recipe?
It’s now repaired. Thanks so much for pointing this out.
Hi Kim,
I love the recipe for the potato salad and can’t wait to try it. I am so glad that you are going to share recipes for picnics. Could you please share a recipe for BBQ sauce? I have unsuccessfully searched the world over for BBQ in the jar that is healthy and have tried making my own, but have been disappointed with the taste.
Thanks for all you do!!!
Thanks for the request for a new recipe. I’ll get right to work on it. I’ve successfully developed a ketchup recipe, but haven’t attempted a barbeque sauce yet. This should be fun!
I made this yesterday for Memorial Day, and it was a big hit. This is a delicious SIMPLE recipe, thanks so much Kim!
So glad it went over so well!
