Lemon Garlic Bacon Potato Salad

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Friends invited us to enjoy Sunday Supper with them.  Personally, it’s my favorite meal of the entire week.  A casual but hearty spread is required.  I knew she was doing a mixed grill with pork tenderloin, sirloin steak and veggies and I offered to bring a starchy side.  We’re both major tater lovers, but she hates mayo, so a traditional potato salad was not an option.  I hit the fridge and rustled up some bacon, found a red onion and a few lemons and took this easy-to-make, no-mayo potato salad to dinner.   potato salad with bacon, basil and lemon vinaigrette

Two bites in and my friend demanded the recipe.  So,  this one’s for you Adrianne.
