Broken Locust Potato Salad

Today, to go along with our collaboration with our friends, Pat and Sherry from Broken Locust, I am offering you our recipe for Broken Locust Potato Salad. I am not normally a potato salad lover. The texture, the eggs, the mayonnaise, it's all a bit much for me. However, one bib overall potato salad lover has been requesting this recipe idea for quite some time. With a hint of spring in the air, I thought I would make my favorite bib overall-wearing buddy: bratwursts and Broken Locust potato salad. Much to my surprise, I found myself enjoying this version of potato salad. 

The Broken Locust Tuscan Tomato spice blend is our favorite. Eric mixes two packets of the spice blend into a jar of Helman's Mayonnaise and eats it on everything from burgers to breakfast sandwiches. This mixture has become a staple in our home. Adding it to potato salad was Eric's idea, and dear reader, it was a good one. 

Broken Locust Potato Salad

Ingredients:

5 lbs. Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled, cooked, cooled, and cut into cubes

6 Hard Boiled Eggs, chopped

1 Ib. Cherry Tomatoes, chopped

1 bunch Green Onions, chopped, or Red Onion can be used

1 bunch Celery, finely diced

Dressing:

2 Cups Helman's Mayonnaise with Broken Locust Tuscan Tomato spice blend mixed in

1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese

1 small jar Sun Dried Tomatoes

A splash of Olive Oil

(You could also add olives, fresh basil, or bacon) 

Directions:

In a very large bowl, layer the salad ingredients.

In a small mixing bowl, blend the ingredients for the dressing and mix well. Add enough olive oil to create the consistency you like for your dressing. I added about a tablespoon.

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently blend, ensuring all ingredients are coated. 

Refrigerate for several hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld. 

Enjoy!

I hope your family enjoys this as much as we do. I gently encourage you to try all of Broken Locust's spice blends and herbal teas. We have not been disappointed by any of them, and we have tried them all. Locally, you find Broken Locust's products at Lone Oak Farm. On this last Friday in February, stay safe, be smart, enjoy simple and delicious food, and keep washing your hands. 

This salad pairs well with Italian sausage sandwiches, bratwurst, or Italian subs.
