Receta Greek Olive Potato Salad
Greek Olive Potato Salad
One of my favorite summer salads is potato. And there are so many varieties of this summertime favorite. Some I have tried--not worth retrying, but this one is rather tasty. There are 200 calories per serving for this yummy salad and a serving is 3/4 cup. So this is not as healthy as eating a dish of veggies, but not too bad when planning a fun BBQ.
