Our nephew’s first birthday was just about two weeks ago. For his late spring party, his parents did a cookout mid-afternoon. I contributed two gluten-free salads to the menu. One was this delicious potato salad, and the other was a gluten-free pasta salad (look for that recipe in a few days!)

This recipe is not strict Paleo, because it uses sour cream, but I’ve found that sour cream is an important addition to a creamy salad, because it cuts that vinegar mayo taste, and adds a refreshing creamy flavor to the recipe. If you can tolerate sour cream, it’s also great to combine with mayo for chicken salad as well.

I love the addition of fresh herbs in this potato salad. They really brighten the dish, not only flavor-wise, but visually as well!

This recipe was so simple to throw together, it will be a staple for our cookouts from now on!

Enjoy!
