Light And Creamy Red Potato Salad Recipe

One of my favorite things to do in the warm weather is pack a picnic and go sit at the beach. There are so many gorgeous views around Vancouver. Lighthouse Park, English Bay and Sunset beach are a few of my faves. You can't have a picnic without potato salad right? This version is nice and light without feeling that way.
