Why a mayo-free potato salad?
Don’t get me wrong, I love a classic potato salad. In fact, I have another potato salad recipe that I dearly love and make frequently. However, I wanted to make a different, lighter version of potato salad with fewer ingredients. This pesto potato salad is:
Light, fresh and herbyEasy to makeUnique and funCreamy with a little crunch
A healthy potato salad
If you’re looking for a lighter, healthy version of potato salad – look no further. Since it’s mayo-free, it’s much more vibrant and herby tasting than a traditional potato salad. With that said, it’s still full of creamy goodness from the pesto sauce with a little salty crunch from the bacon.
Optional – A warm potato salad
I’ve never been big on the idea of a warm potato salad. However, this pesto potato salad is excellent when served warm. Warm potatoes, bacon and some crunchy red onions are the perfect texture to pair with a warm and creamy pesto sauce.
