Dressed with a tangy lemon vinaigrette and fresh mint,

this invigorating—and dairy-free—potato salad makes

the perfect summer potluck contribution.

 

ChupaNote: as usual, couldn't help embelishing. Added

a small jar of grilled eggplant in oil (drain oil), a

handful of chopped black olives, 1/4 pound crumbled

feta cheese, a handful of capers, and a small jar of

grilled red peppers (drain oil). Of course, with all

that... needed more mint and a tablespoon of red

pepper flakes!!!
