Excellent flavor. Salad is a keeper.

Excellent salad. My husband and daughter are not fond of traditional potato salad but they liked this version. I didn't have any bok choy on hand so I substituted it with blanched chopped broccoli. I also omitted the red pepper and added a small amount of roasted chopped cashews.

I just love this. The balance is quite nice. One can taste all ingredients but none overpowers. Mainly I taste potatoes, as one should. I served this with grilled Teriyaki chicken, grilled asparagus, and Asian guacamole (laced with wasabi and fresh ginger) mixed with baby spinach. This different twist on Asian food is exciting and welcome. Thanks so much for posting this. It's a keeper.

Very different salad and a nice change from the norm. I made this exactly as posted except I did not have the hot mustard. I like beckas idea of adding the cashews and will try that next time.

I have never liked the standard American potato salad at all. This potato salad is out of this world! Must give it a different name to do it more justice!
