Summer is just around the corner and Trader Joe's is helping you prepare for those last-minute BBQs and potlucks with its new Potato Salad offering.
Trader Joe's new Potato Salad offers the delicious flavor of a homemade potato salad, without any of the prep work or cleanup. The new, ready-to-eat side dish is made from a homestyle recipe that starts with tender chunks of potato mixed with crunchy diced celery and onion. This mixture is then combined with chopped, hard-boiled eggs and a creamy combination of mayo, mustard, and horseradish.
While delicious on its own, Trader Joe's new Potato Salad is also neutral enough to pair with other, spicy or savory dishes like a rack of BBQ ribs or a spicy grilled sausage.
