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.
It became a challenge to me, to see where my intuitive cooking would take me, and I have to say, it was fun. This is one of my favorite potato salad recipes….EVER. And from a southern girl who has had more than her fair share of potato salad, that is saying a lot!If you’ve tried this recipe or any other recipe on the blog then don’t forget to rate the recipe and let me know how it went in the below comments, I love hearing from you!

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.
