It is a great make ahead dish and you can use any potatoes you have on hand, it will work just fine. It is very important that you lightly salt your potatoes when boiling -It makes a lot of difference

What makes this salad uniquely Caribbean is the addition of peas, carrots, and eggs and of course, Heinz creamy salad dressing- I just love Heinz salad dressing, it is a childhood favorite.

    Referring to the comments about the Heinz Salad dressing.. I ordered the Heinz Salad Cream from Amazon..I’m assuming it’s the same as the Heinz Salad Dressing in the recipe. It just arrived. The taste is almost exactly the same as Miracle Whip Salad Dressing. You can buy it readily at most American stores.
    Thank you for this amazing recipe!

      Recipe updated, I use the standard salad dressing – made by heinz, available in Caribbean African Markets and some super markets depending on your neighborhood.
