Weekend Picnic Meal Suggestions

This is a great picnic salad. It can be served with hot dogs, hamburgers, steak or grilled chicken. I personally love it with baked ham and baked beans. One of the nice things about this recipe is that it makes enough to serve a lot of people and IF any is leftover can easily be saved for another meal or snack. Humm!

Picnic Potato Salad

10 pounds Potatoes
1 cup Celery -- finely chopped
8 each Eggs -- hard-boiled
1 cup Fresh parsley -- finely chopped
2 cups Dill relish
1 1/2 pints Mayonnaise
1 cup Sweet relish
1/2 cup Yellow mustard
2 cups Salad olives -- chopped
Salt -- to taste
2 cups Onions -- finely chopped
Louisiana hot sauce

Boil potatoes in their jackets. Let cool, then peel and chop into
large chunks.

Mix mayonnaise, yellow mustard, Louisiana hot sauce, and
salt together.

Add potatoes, along with the rest of the ingredients,
and mix well.

You can make this the day before and refrigerate it overnight. You may need to put a little more dressing on it if it is a little dry.
