summer Potato salad

Just in time for the first weekend (Memorial Day) of the summer season. When I was growing up, one of the summer picnic items my mom would make is a potato salad minus mayo. She made it without mayo because she does not like it. When I was younger I did not care either way. After I was married I went to a picnic and ate the mayo potato salad. Afterward, I had a major case of food poisoning. I quickly became a fan of my mom's potato salad. I did not get this from her but I searched the Internet and did some changing and this is pretty close to what I remember. It does have a red tint to it and looks a little different than what you are use to but it has a great flavor and you do not have to worry as much about keeping it cold to prevent food poisoning. I still take precautions but without mayo it is less likely. 4 cups cooked cubed potatoes 2 tablespoons dill pickles - minced 1/4 cup French Dressing 1 cup chopped celery 2 Hard Boiled Eggs - chopped 2 Tablespoons parsley 1 Tablespoon
