    We had some friends over for dinner, and since the weather forecast looked good, we decided to grill. I wanted to try out a new potato salad recipe, and I found one that would use some of the fresh herbs from my garden. This stuff was FANTASTIC! I think it may be my favorite potato salad ever. The rice vinegar gave it a nice tang, and we all loved the fresh herb flavor - especially the dill. It's mildly onion-y from the green onions, the celery adds a nice crunch and the brightness from the lemon zest was the perfect finishing touch.

    Bon Appétit July 2007
    Pam Anderson

    3 pounds baby red potatoes
    3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
    ¾ cup mayonnaise
    3 medium green onions, thinly sliced
    1 celery stalk, cut into ⅓-inch cubes
    ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
    ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
    1 ½ teaspoons finely grated lemon peel

    Bring potatoes to boil in large pot of water. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 17 minutes. Drain; let stand until cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes.
    Cut potatoes into ¾-inch pieces. Place 1 layer of potatoes in large bowl; sprinkle with some of vinegar and salt and pepper. Continue layering potatoes with vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add all remaining ingredients; toss. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill.

      So I was just telling you that I'm not a fan of potato salad, but this one looks really good. I'll have to try it sometime.
