We planned a last minute picnic at the beach and I wanted to make something that would travel well, taste good and be easy to make. Wait.. isn’t that what I always want my recipes to be? Well, at least I am consistent! I found this Waldorf Potato Salad that sounded good and I liked that I could make the potatoes ahead of time with the sauce, refrigerate and toss in the other ingredients right before we left for the picnic. Just my kind of recipe! It was delicious! I liked the sweet crispy grapes with the nutty flavor of the firm walnuts and the bright, crunchy celery tossed with the potatoes in a dreamy dressing. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Be sure to use all the dressing as the potatoes soak it up and, if you like, add a bit more of the grainy mustard. Enjoy!
