Summer is well on its way in Washington, DC and our Pickled Potato Salad is the perfect dish to bring to a Memorial Day barbecue or block party. For a lighter take on the classic, our recipe skips the mayo and adds fresh veggies, relish, and red wine vinegar for a refreshing pop. Enjoy it with grilled meats, burgers, or alongside your favorite green salad.
