Oh My Gosh...This is GOOD!!!
I followed the recipe exactly and it was fantastic.  Thanks for posting.

I really liked it, and the dressing works equally well with salad greens.

Great recipe.  I brought this to a Memorial Day cookout and even all the meat-eaters loved it.

This looks delicious!

I've never had capers though. Can anyone describe what they taste like? Thanks!

They have a clean, but very strong, vinegar flavor.  The bite of a salt and vinegar chip x10.  Really unlike anything else I have ever had.  If you know of a grocery store with an olive bar, like Whole Foods, you may be able to get a sample.

Wow, this is absolutely amazing! My mom's potato salad marinated it in vinagrette too... but then she gooped it up with mayo. This is delicious and (comparatively) quite light, but still reminded me of the best parts of hers.

I used dried oregano and white onions since that's what I had. At first the dressing with the dried oregano made the dressing seem a bit bitter but once I let everything sit and blend it was wonderful! Also I usually don't like raw onions in things but they were perfect in this.

I will definitely make this for any picnics that come up this summer!

PS--I didn't have capers so I didn't add them, and while I like them I'm not sure that this recipe even needs it.

Thanks. I LOVE salt & vinegar chips, so maybe I'd like capers afterall. I'll take your advice and check out Whole Foods next time we're in the vicinity.

I made this twice recently and loved it! The first time, I followed the recipe exactly. The second time, I added finely chopped celery, green onion, and lots of fresh parsley and dill and a bit of paprika.

A friend of mine, who tells me that she is picky about potato salads and hates most of them, tried this one and proclaimed that she actually really liked it.

I was going to add my own recipe but this is pretty much it, except i use a large amount of fresh parsley and dill and apple cider vinegar, and shallots. It's the best way to make potato salad imo!

Yum!! This was easy to make and delicious. Can't ask for anything more.

I enjoyed this... very flavourful and fresh. I added chopped garlic chives to the dressing, and roasted my potatoes in the oven with paprika and garlic salt. Much better than traditional potato salad.

Omg, SO good.  I can tell that it would be even better after marinating for a while, but I can't stop myself. I used dried oregano instead of fresh and green onions because I didn't have red onions.  I was afraid 2 Tbsp of capers would be too much, but it's perfect.  I'm going to have to try this dressing on other things too.
