Notes from Annette: Just saying the title of this recipe makes me hungry. Another interesting way to enjoy potato salad that is a little different from the recipes I have in Book 2 and Book 4.

Potato salad is amazing at a picnic; you can read more in my AGFG blog post 'Picnic Lunch Tips' http://www.agfg.com.au/Blog/post/2011/11/11/Picnic-Lunch-Tips.aspx

Dietitian’s Tip: Using 97% fat-free bacon and low-fat mayonnaise makes this a low-fat and low-calorie salad. It is ideal for weight reduction eating plans and people with diabetes.
