Mayo and warm weather don't mix. Instead, toss potato salad with an easy herb vinaigrette.

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

tip 1
If you like tomatoes, add 2 medium tomatoes, chopped, to the mix.
tip 2
You can make this salad up to 24 hours ahead, but the olive oil will solidify a bit so you'll have to let it stand and then stir it right before serving.
