Herb & Olive Oil Potato Salad

Hey friends! I have been on a salad frenzy if you haven’t noticed. First, chicken salad and now potato! This rustic refreshing potato salad is to die for and couldn’t be simpler to put together. I love the lemon with the olive oil and fresh herbs. I actually picked the basil and parsley out of my tiny garden; can’t get fresher than that! The flavors really shine. Make it and you will see what I am talking about! It’s guilt-free, dairy and gluten free and oh so so good!
