We love eating this main dish salad in the summertime, but it can be enjoyed anytime of year. Most of the ingredients I usually have on hand, if I just remember to grab the shoestring potatoes. It can be a great picnic option, or to bring to a potluck, too. You can mix the shoestrings into the whole salad, or serve them alongside, so people can put their own on.

If you’ve got garden radishes, you can add them too. I love munching on a pickle with this salad. Could be served with lettuce leaves also.
