Classic potato salad doesn’t have to be doused in mayo to be satisfying and creamy. All you need to make a rich, bright potato salad is a ripe avocado (along with potatoes and a few other ingredients, of course)! Yep, the trusty avocado saves the day again! Get your fill of savory and sweet with this Summertime Potato Salad. No squeeze bottle necessary.
