Creamy Potato Salad

Prep: 30 minutes Total: 1 hour (Including refrigerating)

Ingredients:
1 lb red potatoes, unpeeled, cut into chunks
1/4 cup Italian dressing
1/3 cup Miracle Whip Light dressing
1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard (I didn't have any so I just used yellow mustard.)
1 hard-cooked egg, chopped
4 green onions, sliced (I omitted these.)



Directions:

Cooke potatoes in boiling water 15 minutes or until tender.



While the potatoes are cooking, mix salad dressing in a large bowl.



Add mustard.



And, Miracle Whip.



Drain the potatoes and rinse with cold water until cooled; drain again.



Add the potatoes to the dressing.



Then, add the egg; mix lightly.



Cover. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.



Makes 4 servings, 3/4 cup each.

I served this with the Simple Southern-Style "Unfried" Chicken.

Verdict:

Laura - Thumbs Up - This potato salad was zesty and delicious. I will make this again.

Randy - Thumbs Down - It was too spicy and too much mustard. (Side Note: I used the yellow mustard that Randy loves to drowned his turkey dogs in and I used Randy's favorite salad dressing. He still gives it a thumbs down. Go Figure!!)

Nathan - Thumbs Up - Nathan ate a whole serving of this salad.

Leftovers: The leftovers were great. Nathan and I ate this again for dinner tonight. Yum, Yum!

Ranch Coleslaw

This recipe is so easy. I'm almost embarrassed to post it.



Total: 10 minutes

Ingredients:
1 pkg (16 oz) coleslaw blend
1/2 cup ranch dressing
5 slices bacon, crisply cooked, drained and crumbled



Directions:

Open bag of coleslaw and pour in bowl.



Mix in dressing. I found it easiest to toss with tongs.



Cook your bacon. I used pre-cooked bacon, so I just crisped it up in the microwave. Crumble bacon.



Mix in bacon.



I paired the Ranch Coleslaw with the Simple Southern-Style "Unfried" Chicken.

Makes 6 servings, 3/4 cup each.

Verdict:

Laura - Thumbs Up - Delicious! I love the smokey flavor of the bacon. I will make this again.

Randy - Thumbs Down - I didn't like the bacon. It wasn't creamy enough.

Nathan - Thumbs Up - Nathan ate this up. Yum, Yum!!

Leftovers: I just ate some this evening. It didn't taste as good as it did the first night. It was still crunchy, but it just tasted different. Next time I make this, I will make a smaller batch to try to not have leftovers.
