This s my favorite potato salad dressing ever. 

Linda's Notes:

I have been making potato salad for years. The dressing has always been the same...delicious! One that every family member or friend would beg me to make for occasions. Well, you heard the saying.."If its not broke, why fix it"? In my case, If I have made something great, I want to make it even better. Enjoy these wonderful tastes. Two "World" favorites tied together. Potato Salad and Cobb Salad

Ingredients:

3 lb.    red potatoes, cubed, cooked and drained. 

          ( I might do 4 lb. instead next time)

1/4 c   red onion, diced 

          salt and pepper, to taste 

Dressing

2 c        mayonnaise

1/3 c     sugar 

3 Tbsp.   apple cider vinegar 

salt and pepper, to taste 

Toppings:

1 c   tomatoes 

1 c   bacon, fried and diced 

1 c   turkey breast or chicken breast, cubed 

1 c   hard boiled eggs, peeled and diced 

1 c   avocado, cubed 

1/2 c   blue cheese, crumbles 

2 Tbsp.   scallions, diced (for garnish) 

Directions:

1. In large pot of water cook potatoes until soft, not mushy, drain. Add to large mixing bowl.

2. Mix all ingredients for dressing, toss into potatoes. Mix well.

3. Add to serving bowl, for cleaner presentation.

4. Layer toppings accordingly from order listed above. Or to your preference.

5. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes: Make sure not to over cook potatoes. Potatoes should be soft but not mushy to point of falling apart.

Notes: Salad can be made day before, adding toppings next day. Stir well before adding toppings.
