I think that there are two kinds of cooks: those who go in with a plan and a carefully shopped grocery list and those who just go into the kitchen and wing it.
Although I certainly have the ability to make a meal on the fly, I am most certainly a planner.
That is why I was kind of surprised at myself a few weeks ago when I bought some pretty tomatoes (perfect for this Tomato Salad) and a bag of potatoes with absolutely no idea what I was going to do with them.

- Slice potatoes and place in a bowl. Pour dressing and toss to coat. Toss with bacon and chives.
Notes
This potato salad has quite a bit of liquid. I like this because it keeps the leftovers moist, but if you are entertaining you may wish to drain a bit of it off.
