Potato salad is a summer staple, but with all of that mayo, cream-cheese, butter, you name it, its not very forgiving on your waistline, or very clean at all. I absolutely am in love with sweet tators! They taste like pure heaven to me and I wanted to create my own version of the so-called “potato salad.” Not only did I create my own version of the popular dish, but I added my own flair to it as well. With the addition of cilantro, lime and pistachio flavors, this salad takes on a whole different level full of flavor blasting goodness, unlike none other! This recipe is perfect for 4th of July or your next summer cookout, it’ll be sure to impress, guaranteed!

There is nothing like the taste of fresh salsa, NOTHING! Store-bought cannot compare, with all of the processed ingredients and artificial flavors, one can easily differentiate between homemade and not. Check the ingredient list on the back of the salsa jar and you may be surprised to find out that most brands contain sugar. You may be thinking, why is there sugar in salsa? My thoughts exactly. This Salsa is so fresh and flavorful that you may never buy jarred salsa again, seriously. Plus plenty of vitamins and minerals to fuel your body efficiently. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that it’s extremely easy and quick to make too.
