I absolutely love the flavor of this potato salad. It adds tartness without mustard or vinegar. I used lime juice, the entire amount called for, and it was great. I think it is important to add the juice when the potatoes are still hot as recipe suggests, otherwise the juice won't fully absorb and the end result may seem more tart. Anyway, I've made it twice, using a mixture of fat free mayo and miracle whip, the second time omitting the celery, which I personally liked more. Thanks so much!
