So why not prepare a big bowl of this Garden Salsa Potato Salad the day before and have one less thing to worry about.
Salsa has always been a favorite in my house, along with potato salad.
My children were never really a big fan of tomatoes but always wanted me to make salsa.
Go figure that out..but anyway I just rolled with it and kept making the salsa.
And with that in mind I thought I really needed to find a way to marry the two together.
By George, salsa and potatoes together are just the perfect companions. Haha!
But seriously give this one a go, and make sure to use fresh salsa.
You could use the jarred stuff but not sure it would be as flavorful. Cause fresh is just always better!

This is my kind of potato salad, I don't like it loaded down with a heavy dressing. The salsa is a great idea and I can't wait to try this.

You're combining two of the best BBQ foods- Potato salad and salsa! Would it be bad if I scooped this up with a tortilla chip?? Love this idea!

I just ate this potato salad with my eyes: it's gorgeous! I love that it's lighter and doesn't have mayo—and therefore won't grow the nasties that a typical potato salad would. I can't wait to try it!
