Pesto Potato Salad
Potato salad is a classic summer favourite! Take your potato salad to the next level by adding pesto. Either homemade or store-bought, pesto adds the most amazing flavour to the salad.
While pesto is great on its own, mixing it through mayonnaise turns the pesto into the most amazing creamy dressing. This dressing is not only great on potato salad, but also try mixing it through a pasta salad or even a leafy salad.
