Polish Veggie Salad

My mouth is watering as I’m typing this recipe, because I love this salad. It reminds me of home as soon as I start mixing all the veggies and the flavors medley together.

This upgraded potato salad is often made when the veggies of the summer are no longer in season, and we’re back to the basics: carrots, potatoes, eggs, pickles, onions. It is nonetheless a much loved Polish staple that earned its right for glory.

The recipe may vary a bit from home to home, because once you start making it, you will learn how you like it and adjust it. This colorful salad is often served at home parties, and it is a must-have at any holiday dinner table. It makes a great potluck dish also.
