Dill Pickle Potato Salad

I found this recipe several years ago in Taste of Home magazine and I took the photo from there, too. I put my salad together a little differently than the instructions on the Taste of Home site, mashing the egg yolks into the dressing, so my salad looks more yellow than the salad in the photo. Oh, and I skip the onions, since there are two onion phobics round here.  And I usually double the recipe, so that we’re sure to have leftovers.

• 8 medium potatoes
• 6 hard-boiled eggs
  
• 3 celery ribs, chopped
• 6 green onions, chopped
  
• 2 medium dill pickles, finely chopped
  
• 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise
  
• 1/4 cup dill pickle juice
  
• 4 1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard
  
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

1. Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer potatoes for 20-30 minutes until tender. Drain and cool.
   
   
2. Peel and cube potatoes, and place them in a large bowl.
   
   
3. Peel eggs and remove yolks. Place yolks in a small bowl and set aside.  Chop whites and add to potatoes along with celery, onions and pickles.
   
   
4. Mash yolks with a fork and add mayonaise, pickle juice, mustard, celery seed, salt and pepper. Combine with a small wire wisk or fork.
   
   
5. Pour over potato mixture; mix well.
   
   
6. Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving. Makes 8 servings.

Tomorrow is for Salads

Don’t forget that July’s Recipe Round Up will be posted tomorrow at Promptings. Violet will be using Mr. Linky, but she has also offered to include posts emailed to her before tomorrow.

I’m hoping you’ll read this and not only post your salad recipe tomorrow, but also post a reminder of the upcoming round up on your own blog so the word gets out beforehand. Let’s make this the biggest round up yet! 

If you don’t have a blog, but you do have a great summer salad recipe, I’d be willing to post it here and include it in the round up  for you. Just email me the recipe at the contact address in the side bar.

How doth faith justify a sinner in the sight of God?

Faith justifies a sinner in the sight of God, not because of those other graces which do always accompany it, or of good works that are the fruits of it,[1] nor as if the grace of faith, or any act thereof, were imputed to him for his justification;[2] but only as it is an instrument by which he receiveth and applies Christ and his righteousness.[3]
