Caribbean Potato Salad -This  incredible potato salad is creamy, luscious, tasty and chock full of vegetables.

Caribbean potato salad

I would say this is the perfect potato salad for any summer barbecue and is great for picnics too. It is almost summer and barbecues, cookouts, parties and picnics are all the rage at this time of the year.

Caribbean potato salad

If you are planning one or attending one, here is one recipe that would fit right in, regardless of the menu. 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

Caribbean potato salad

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.

Caribbean potato salad

It is available in some supermarkets, here in the United States and you would definitely find them in Caribbean and African markets. Enjoy

    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!

    My family loved the potato salad! I’m in Las Vegas. Didn’t locate the salad dressing. I’m sure that’ll make a big difference’

      Use Miracle Whip instead of the Heinz Salad Dressing. It tastes the same.

    It looks really good, but in mine i use real mayonaise, and have never used carrots
    I think i will leave the carrots out i like carrots but only cooked, I’m Polish and make it about the same way!
    Except for the carrots,
    I some time put cut up raddishes in it,
