This recipe is nothing like the so-called potato salad that is obtainable in the supermarkets. It may be a bit more complex than opening a tub, but it's so much better that you will never go back. This is bursting with so much flavour that it will immediately become a firm favourite. It is ideal for a picnic or barbecue, but equally as good as a main course sitting out in the garden. Be sure to use fresh herbs and new potatoes, older ones don't have the luscious waxy texture that is so much a part of a real potato salad. This recipe serves 2 as a main course (delicious just on it's own, or with a tomato or leaf salad) or four as a side dish. Use organic vegetables, organic potatoes and the freshest herbs to make this dish truely a work of art.
