Nowadays, everyone is tilting towards healthy living and healthy dietary options packed with vitamins and nutrients. Salads are a great source of nutrients given the rich vegetables used to prepare them.
There are many variants of salad spread across different countries but I specifically remember one type of salad which my grandmother prepared so special occasions. I knew it was unique in its own way, especially considering its beautiful colour, the little time required to prepare it, as well as the varieties of main dishes it can be coupled with. Creamy Potato salad tastes so good and yet doesn’t require so many ingredients.
