Although I did make several slight changes, I don't think they detracted from the fact that you have a recipe here that makes for a very satisfying potato salad! I used lemon pepper instead of the usual S&P, & in place of the 10 slices of bacon, I used 1/4 cup of Hormel's Real Bacon Pieces! Thanks for a very nice keeper recipe!

Over the top yummy. Used low fat turkey bacon in half the amount ask for which was a good amount for me. Loved the lemon and basil! The mustard adds real punch (in a very good way, lol). I served some of it for lunch while still warm and it was excellent. Oh! and no spinach in mine. Thanks hon for another great recipe. :D
