What does summer mean to you? I'm sure for every person reading this there would be a different answer. One of the many things that summer means to me is picnics at the beach and potato salad. I found this potato salad recipe when 'Lil Burnt Toast and I ventured to Urban Harvest for some of our weekly groceries. I discovered this recipe in their weekly newsletter so I decided to deviate from my regular potato salad recipes and try something "new to me".Prized Potato Salad is born in the More Than Burnt Toast household!!!
