It is officially summer which means the opening season for picnics.  Whatever the menu in any picnic, there is always a potato salad on the table.  I pride myself of trying every dish that someone bring to a gathering, the only exception is the potato salad. Don’t misunderstand me, I like potato salad like most people but I am always nervous when I see a mayonnaise loaded  salad simmering in the summer heat.

Here is an easy refreshing potato salad that use olive oil and lemon juice for dressing which make it safe salad to accompany and grilling menu or picnic.
