Very good potato salad. I liked all the veggies and the subtle flavor of the chipotle.

I loved all the veggies and the smoky dressing with a little bit of sweet. Very good salad. Thanks and good luck!

This is a great twist on potato salad. I liked that there are a lot of veggies in it, and the smokey flavor from the chipotle. I thought it ened up being just a tad to spicy.And the mayo and yogurt aren't exactly safe choices for a picnic salad. I will use these flavora again for a potato salad though!

Your right, the dressing is scrummy! I cut the recipe in half for the two of us! Other than substituting an orange pepper for the red pepper, followed your recipe! Well, may have put in a little more adobo than the recipe, but hey we like'm spicy! The dressing was thin enough without adding milk.

This has a nice crunch with a subtle heat. The quantities are right on target. I really enjoyed that the dressing was a mix of mayo and yogurt making this a little healthier. I was a little concerned about the addition of avocado but it does work nicely. Good luck in the contest.
