Notes

This salad will keep well in the fridge for about 3-4 days in an airtight container. Making it a day ahead enhances the flavors. Avoid freezing as the texture may change upon thawing. Timing is crucial in cooling potatoes before adding dressing to prevent mushiness. Feel free to add chopped cucumbers for crunch or olives/capers for additional flavor.
