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.

Wow! This was easy and delicious. My daughter who "does not like potato salad" helped me to make it and had to have several bites before taking it to the picnic.

Old family recipe if you chop dill pickles instead of relish; add small amount of dill & garlic powder. Been making this for years! Some like a small amount of crumbled bacon on top.

This is an awesome potato salad recipe. I have made some slight changes to it that are easy. Instead of dill pickle relish, I use sweet. I omit the mustard and add cooked crumbled bacon and several shakes of Kraft Italian dressing or to taste. The best!!

We have a LOT of neighborhood cookouts and this is ALWAYS a hit!! I use dill relish and sometimes add hot peppers for a little ZING. We never have left overs and it's a given it will be on every menu!!! Being from the South. it has become a NJ favorite!

This recipe is a keeper! I made it for my husband & I so we had leftovers which were even better. I do use a bit less onion than called for since I am not a big fan of onions.
