I love potato salad. Picnics and grill-outs mean potato salad in my mind. My twist on potato salad is a fun way to have this summer classic side dish. I created a new recipe for Rutabaga Potato Salad that is so yummy. This salad will compliment any summer picnic or potluck. I love this salad also because it adds a bit of orange color to the traditional potato salad while the celery adds a bit of crunch. The hard-boiled eggs in this salad add in some extra protein. I love trying new salad recipes especially when it’s a twist on a classic side dish like potato salad.

Rutabaga
Rutabagas are a root vegetable high in fiber, calcium, iron, potassium, and vitamin C. This vegetable is low in calories and tasty with potatoes. Rutabagas are often used in stews and casseroles or it can be mashed. This vegetable is not used as commonly today as it was in the past.
I grew up eating rutabaga in pasty. My mom made a pasty dish that was so good with rutabaga as one of the ingredients. I don’t have her exact recipe, so I made an attempt at her recipe off of my memory. It turned out so flavorful and super good. My recipe creation is a hybrid recipe for meat-eaters and vegetarians called Mom’s Classic Meat Pasty and My Veggie Pasty. This recipe can be found at:
