INGREDIENTS TO MAKE THE POTATO SALAD FOR PICNIC

  • Chopped onion, you can use shallots if you want a milder flavor
  • Champagne vinegar or any other mild vinegar. If you do not have it, you can add apple cider vinegar; it will be slightly more substantial but equally delicious.
  • Celery, finely chopped.
  • Olives. The Castel Vetrano olives are super delicious and are perfect in this recipe. If you can’t get black olives, use kalamata or green olives, they all work.
  • Capers. I love them; they are a total flavor booster.
  • Olive oil. Use extra virgin olive oil.
  • Roughly chopped parsley
  • Potatoes
