 Old Fashioned Potato Salad  ~ Gluten & dairy-free options

My grandma, like so many grandmothers…made the best old-fashioned potato salad! I use to love picking the extra big chunks of potatoes out of the salad when I was little.

A creamy, homemade salad dressing is a “win-win” as you will find with this potato salad. The dressing is actually my mom’s recipe, and it is delicious on macaroni salad too.

If you need a gluten-free dressing please check the labels carefully!   Kraft Miracle Whip is supposed to be gluten-free, I used this product in my salad without any problems. Use low fat for a lighter option. Use Vegenaise for dairy, soy, gluten, and nut-free plus there is a lighter version of this product too.

Maybe try making your own using this recipe, Basic Mayonnaise Recipe.

There’s lots of flavor in all these ingredients, and I like to chop them up finely so there’s a little bit of everything in every forkful.

This potato salad recipe has been enjoyed by our family for about 50 years.  It seems to have just the right “twang” and also makes a fabulous macaroni salad by substituting pasta (gluten-free if needed) for the potatoes.
