Old fashioned potato salad got a tasty update with some Kale! Bacon Kale Potato Salad is delicious.
I can hardly wait for summer to get here! Green grass, flowers blooming, fresh produce growing in the garden and of course barbecue season! An all-time favorite dish to bring to any summer gathering is Potato Salad. This recipe for Bacon Kale Potato Salad has a flavourful twist.
My husband’s family love their potato salad with an oil and vinaigrette dressing, mine love their with good old mayonnaise dressing. Then there comes to choice of what to add – eggs, radishes, pickles, onions? For my potato salad recipe I decided to add kale, bacon and corn. I love Irish Colcannon, so I decided since kale tastes so yum in Colcannon, why not potato salad. This recipe tastes fantastic warm or cold!
