This potato salad has a wonderful herbaceous flavor. I had to use prepared pesto (1 heaping tablespoon) instead of the seasoning. As a result, I reduced the yogurt by 1 heaping tablespoon so as not to create too saucy a salad. This worked wonderfully. In order to give 5 stars a recipe has to offer salty, sweet, fatty and crunchy elements. There was no crunch, which can be easily resolved by adding celery or red onion. Additionally, I reduced the hard boiled egg to 2 and I’m glad I did. Anymore and it would have seemed more like egg/potato salad instead of potato salad with some egg.

Delicious! I used what I had on hand, which was golden potatoes. I did half with the relish and half without. While both were good, I Preferred the one without the relish (just my personal preference). We thought the addition of the pesto seasoning was a nice change from the usual. I will be making this one again! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
