8 medium washed and boiled potatoes
8 hard boiled eggs
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon mustard
3/4 cup Pickle juice
2 chopped green onions
2 stalks of chopped celery
3 chopped garlic dill pickles
Salt & pepper
In a large bowl, peel and cut up cooled potatoes. Cut up 7 of the hard boiled eggs and slice the remaining egg to garnish the top of the potato salad. Chop vegetables and pickles. Add eggs, vegetables, and pickles to potatoes. In a small bowl mix mayonnaise, mustard, pickle juice, salt and pepper to taste. It should be a pale yellow in color and not runny. Don’t overpower the sauce with mustard. If needed add a tad more mayo, mustard or pickle juice. It’s about the pale yellow color and taste. If it tastes too mustardy, then add more mayo. Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients, garnish with sliced, hard boiled egg and paprika. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, serve chilled.
Enjoy.

Why Personality Tests Don't Facilitate Positive Transformation |
Personality typing is all the rage these days. From the Myers-Briggs test to Ennegrams to zodiacs, people look to these tests not only to identify themselves by their personality types, but to showcase who they are to others. While personality typing is unarguably a useful and informative tool, identifying too heavily with your personality can disconnect you from you who are and hold you back from personal growth and change. Take a look at these transformational techniques that can help you get the most from your personality test and turn it into a catalyst for real, positive life change. |
