Patriotic Potato Salad with an Herb Vinaigrette

Ugh… guys I feel like the posts this week have taken me FOREVER to write.

I literally was just sitting in front of my computer watching that little vertical line on my screen blink with nothing following it.

There are no words. My mind is just blank and exhausted.

All I really want to do is change into a swim suit and jump into our pool. But it’s not quite finished yet. Yesterday they actually poured the concrete for the deck, so we are getting closer. I think this Friday they are spraying the plaster in the pool and then the diamond brite.

So hopefully… fingers crossed… we’ll be swimming next week!

Seriously can’t wait.

Monday night Mike went out for a bike ride after little man went to bed. As the door opened my sweaty husband walks through and walks right to the backyard window, stars out blankly and says … “now would be a great time to have a pool. I would totally just go dive in right now!”

I AGREE! Nothing better than a swim to cool you down after a sweaty workout. Or if you live in Texas, a dip after just stepping outside and sweating because it’s so flippin hot! And believe me, we’ve definitely gotten into that time of year when you walk outside and can’t breathe because the heat and humidity takes your breathe away!

Ugh… let’s just say it’s not my favorite time of year because of the heat. But hopefully now with a pool it WILL be my favorite time of year. Ahh… how things change!

Ok, moving on to the recipe.

This recipe was inspired by the firework stands on the side of road right now. Because in Texas, that’s what we do. We set off our own fireworks around 4th of July and New Years.

The 4th of July is right around the corner and I’m helping you get ready for it with this Patriotic Potato Salad made with red, white, and purple potatoes!

This Potato Salad recipe is easy, light, and mayo free! Woohoo!

It’s loaded with tons of fresh herbs, a mustard vinaigrette, then tossed with festive tender potatoes and hard boiled eggs! I guarantee it will be a hit at your holiday party. I know it will be at mine.

And I don’t know about you, but I’ll be making burgers, fruit salad, and definitely those Patriotic Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries for the 4th of July. Now just to figure out cocktails. 🙂 hehehe

Bon Appetit friends and happy Wednesday!
