While it can be said that nothing hits the spot quite like a good old, classic potato salad, there’s still something exciting about gourmet versions of our favourite childhood foods. If you’re keen to experiment a little and offer a fresh take on a classic potato salad for your next braai, simply open up your fridge and get creative with the ingredients inside. Not sure where to start? Here are 5 easy ways to upgrade a traditional potato salad.<\/p>\n

Go for creamy:<\/h4>\n

Nothing says decadent like cream. For a creamy potato salad creation play around with chopped hard-boiled eggs, cubed avocado, or crumbled cheese in your potato salad – yum!<\/p>\n

Kick it up a notch:<\/h4>\n

Sometimes you’ve got to take the gourmet approach. For a fancy take on a traditional backyard potato salad try adding some unusual ingredients like pesto, harissa, or tahini.<\/p>\n

Add an acid:<\/h4>\n

Acid can take a dish from just ok to wow in 3 seconds flat. For a zesty take on a basic potato salad try adding citrus juice, vinegar, soy sauce, or even capers to your potato salad. Your guests will certainly be back for more!<\/p>\n

Add some crunch:<\/h4>\n

If you’re looking to create a true sensory experience add a little bit of texture and crunch to your potato salad with chopped vegetables, toasted nuts, or even crushed potato chips.<\/p>\n

A fresh approach:<\/h4>\n

Nothing breaks through rich, dense food like a bit of freshness. Add a hint of freshness to your potato salad with herbs, fennel, mint, basil, or minced lemongrass. Perfect for a summer braai!<\/p>\n
