Recipe Inspiration
This Fresh Spring Potato Salad recipe is inspired by the fresh spring ingredients at my local farmer’s market.
I’m lucky to live a few miles away from my farmer’s market, and I absolutely love buying all the fresh produce I can in the spring.
There’s nothing I love more than fresh, simple recipes made with quality ingredients. And this recipe is just that! It’s so easy too, and it’s done in just 30 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
This recipe is a great side dish for an outdoor picnic. This would be great with a fresh Salmon and Chimichurri dish.
A fresh spring potato salad would also be paired with a Lemon and Asparagus Goat Cheese tart for a meal full of spring-forward flavors.
