Serves 8

Salad Ingredients:

• 5 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed  (about 5-6 cups)
• ½ cup carrots, peeled and diced
• 1 cup pineapple chunks, drained
• 1 cup cooked Ham, diced
• 1-2 tbsp. scallions, minced

Mustard-Mayo Dressing:

• 1½ cups mayonnaise (I used Lite Mayo from Lady’s Choice)
• 1-2 tsp. mustard
• 1 tsp. honey
• ¼ tsp paprika
• Salt and white pepper, to taste
  Lettuce, to serve (optional)

Cooking Procedure:

• In a deep pot, boil cubed potatoes in salted water for about 5 minutes and add diced carrots and simmer until tender and almost cooked through don’t over cooked your potatoes. Drain and let it cool completely or you can chill it in the fridge for about 10 minutes. Add pineapple chunks, diced ham and scallions into your potatoes and set aside.

• Meanwhile, in a separate bowl we’re going to mix our dressing. Combine mayonnaise, mustard, honey, paprika and season with salt and white pepper and mix until well blended. Taste test your seasoning according to your taste before adding into your potato salad. Add the mustard-mayo dressing gradually to your salad and mix them to coat evenly or you can add them all at once if you want a heavy dressing.

•  A simple tips for you guys, when you mix the dressing into the salad and it calls for a little salt, you can add more but if you have some parmesan cheese go for it, like what I did and it turns out great. Mix your potato salad until blended and cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours before serving. Serve chilled with fresh lettuce if you like and enjoy your potato salad.

You cannot freeze this salad because it will become watery. And don’t leave the potato salad at room temperature for more than 2 hours, always refrigerate any leftovers because mayonnaise spoils easily .  Hope you try this simple and delicious potato salad, can’t wait to eat this thing with pork BBQ 🙂   Until next time, have a blessed day everyone!!!
