Simple Potato Salad

Hey everyone!! I hope you are all doing well ๐Ÿ™‚ย  So, summer time picnics, great food, gorgeous weather, good friends, does it get any better??? ๐Ÿ™‚ย  Our weekend was nice we had fun, laughed, and just enjoyed our friends company. ๐Ÿ™‚ย 

During the weekend I got a chance to do some power walking early Saturday morning,ย  on Sunday I decided to just take the day off.ย  ๐Ÿ™‚ย  I try to get out as early as possible before the sun is completely up because power walking, jogging, or just walking in the sun is definitely not something I enjoy.ย  ย Even when I was living in Greece, I tried to get everything done early in the morning during the weekends to avoid the sun.ย  I love the sun when I am at the beach otherwise you will never catch me sitting in the sun like most people do while drinking coffee or eating. I absolutely prefer the shade ๐Ÿ™‚

Ok, so about this recipe, it is a simple potato salad greek style ๐Ÿ™‚ย  The original recipe that my mom used to make had no mustard ๐Ÿ™‚ย  I guess because the mustard we had back then was and still is quite strong, that’s why you put it on Hot Dogs! ๐Ÿ™‚ whereas if you use Mild Dijon Mustard it is a much better option to spice up the mayonnaise just a tad bit.ย  ย So, the next timeย your going on a picnic to the park or just spending the day in the garden, balcony, terrace, and your having friends over or you just want to enjoy this recipeย  yourself ๐Ÿ™‚ย  give it a try and let me know how it turned out. ๐Ÿ™‚
