Let me give you my favorite go-to salad, Greek Potato Salad with Feta and Mint. Every summer my mint grows profusely in my garden. I decided one year I would add mint to everything I created! When I served this dish everyone liked the combination of this fragrant herb with the potatoes, so I filed the recipe in my summer file. I hope it becomes one of your favorite go-to recipes. This dish can be taken outside to a BBQ or gathering and served at room temperature. It can be made ahead, place in refrigerator and served a t room temperature.
