About this recipe:

We are excited to share a delicious recipe that was passed down from our Executive Chef, Anna Gass’s, Italian grandmother. Meet your new favorite potato salad you can serve all summer long! A few high-quality ingredients come together in this delicious dish. Extra Virgin Olive Oil replaces mayonnaise, for a healthier salad that’s perfect for serving outdoors on hot days.
