Mediterranean Potato Salad

This tasty Mediterranean Potato salad is a great side dish, complementing any meal, or a snack. I like this recipe because I find the potato salads found in many grocery stores are too creamy and rich, while this Mediterranean salad has a salsa touch to it. Plus, it’s fresh and home-made. Try it out, you will love it!
