How To Make Old Fashioned Potato Salad
Prep Potatoes: Peel the potatoes, and cut them in half. Cover with 1-inch of water, and on medium-high heat, boil for 25 minutes or until fork tender. Drain the potatoes. Let them sit until cool.
Prep Veggies: While the potatoes are cooking, finely dice the sweet onion and chop the celery. Put them in a large bowl.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients (mayo, vinegar, mustard, relish, salt and pepper) until smooth.

The Dandy® Celery Difference
Andrew Duda started farming on 40 acres of land almost 100 years ago. He decided to grow celery because it’s 100% usable, which means no waste. With six generations of growers, they care about the quality of the produce they feed their families. And they want you to have the freshest, crunchiest celery on your table too.
From seed to shelf, they pay attention to using as little land as possible to give you the best celery while reducing water usage by a third. Dandy is on a mission to help more families like yours enjoy affordable produce at premium quality. They’re a family-focused company you can trust.
Look for the Dandy label in the produce section of your grocery store and start making your food budget work for you.
