This whole week, I am doing recipes for the Memorial weekend like this punched-up potato salad.  Whether you are grilling or having a picnic, hopefully I will be able to help you out. Memorial weekend is usually the kick-off for Summer here in Utah.  It is usually when the outdoor pools open up and Lagoon (a local theme park) is open all week and not just weekends.  The kids only have a few days of school left, and we are already ready to celebrate the holiday weekend in one way or another.  I’m not sure how this year will pan out though.  We have been experiencing record rainfall and cool temperatures, fingers crossed!

Today, we start off with jazzing up some store-bought potato salad.  Potato salad is frequently included in any Memorial Day menu.  I must say, I am not a fan of store-bought potato salad.  They all have a taste to them that I just don’t like.  So I thought, I wonder if I could jazz up pre-made potato salad from the store so I would enjoy it.  The answer I soon discovered was, YES YOU CAN!

If you just need to simplify your BBQ menu or need a quick side dish for the neighborhood potluck, this punched-up potato salad is the perfect solution.  I love the freshness that the lime and cilantro add to salad.  The picture also shows you a cute way to serve up potato salad at any gathering you may be having this summer.  All you have to do is dip the rim of the plastic cups in lime juice and then in some BBQ seasoning (I used McCormick Grill Mates Barbecue), then add a lime wedge for garnish.  Isn’t that a fun new way to serve up a BBQ classic?  If you don’t want to go for this jazzed up store bought potato salad recipe then go for my homemade potato salad recipe.
