Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion

For a great summer meal, serve this classic potato salad with grilled chicken breasts and a fresh fruit salad.

Picnic Safety Tip

When taking food to a picnic, do so in an insulated bag with a reusable ice pack. If you don't have any reusable ice packs, freeze individual juice boxes the night before the picnic. When you're ready to go, pack the frozen juice boxes around the foods in the cooler. The juice boxes will keep your food cold and will be thawed when you get to the picnic to serve as cold drinks for the kids.

Substitutes

Substitute MIRACLE WHIP Dressing for the mayo, GREY POUPON Dijon Mustard for the yellow mustard and 1/2 cup CLAUSSEN Sweet Pickle Relish for the dill pickle relish.

Very good though I thought it could use a little more mayonnaise. My husband loved it just the way it was.

Very good, classic recipe. The only variations I made was to use the new mayo with olive oil and add about 1/3 a cup of apple cider vinegar - adds just the right amount of tangy-ness. Really, really good!

This was an easy recipe. It was a little too much onion for me. Next time I will use cut up pickles with the pickle juice instead of the dill relish. The pickle juice will add more salt flavor which it needed.

I made this potato salad over the Fourth of July weekend and my family loved it! My mom said it reminded her of a potato salad her dad made when she was younger. I will definitely make this again!!! H.B,Chicago

Loved this potato salad. I will make it again. Easy to make and taste great. I made it for the 4th of July and everyone that tried it loved it, they said it remined them of salad they used to have. The only thing I used different was homemade relish that is sweet.
