INGREDIENTS TO MAKE THE POTATO SALAD FOR PICNIC
- Chopped onion, you can use shallots if you want a milder flavor
- Champagne vinegar or any other mild vinegar. If you do not have it, you can add apple cider vinegar (affiliate link); it will be slightly more substantial but equally delicious.
- Celery, finely chopped.
- Olives. The Castel Vetrano olives are super delicious and are perfect in this recipe. If you can’t get black olives, use kalamata or green olives, they all work.
- Capers. I love them; they are a total flavor booster.
- Olive oil. Use extra virgin olive oil.
- Roughly chopped parsley
- Potatoes
