I’ve never really liked potato salad. There’s something about cold potato that weirds me out. German potato salad I like, because it’s warm and has bacon.

But it’s summer, and while we are getting plenty of potatoes from our CSA, German potato salad is not a summery dish. Especially not when we’re a few days away from breaking the record for 100-degree days here in Austin.

This potato salad might make me a convert.

Potato Salad - This arugula potato salad might even convert the most die-hard potato salad haters, thanks to its bacon, arugula and balsamic vinegar.
