I love this Simple Warm Potato Salad. It is refreshing and it is all about summer. I have not made it in a very long time, but with warmer weather recently, it seemed the perfect side dish to go with my Easy Roast Chicken. Try it with other grilled dishes like grilled pork tenderloin or even some grilled Italian sausage for a casual week-night dinner. It is yummy!
