"This recipe was shared with me by my mom. This is THE BEST potato salad I have ever had! Whenever we have family get-togethers, I always ask my mom to bring this salad! The vegetables add such a nice refreshing crunch. My mom also likes to add 1/4 cup diced green pepper and 1/4 cup diced cucumber, but I prefer it without."

Nice recipe! Exactly what I was looking for. Added 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp parsley & 1 tsp mustard. The colors of the radish and carrots made it look just like it tasted- GREAT!

This was a very different potato salad for me. I had never heard of putting carrots or radishes in one. The results were unamious..everyone loved it. Thanks for sharing!

Made this potato salad several times over the summer, this is very much like mine with the exception of the carrots and that yours unlike mine has been put to paper! I often change the ingredients a bit to suit those I'm preparing for. Miracle Whip being the dressing I began with is the favorite for those liking it's zippy taste and there are the guests that I know prefer the mayo, and make the dressing accordingly. I like the variation as well. I did try the carrots and they were a nice change. Thank you for sharing your mom's salad which tastes as good as it looks.
