We have one week left of summer vacation which is a bit crazy to believe. This summer has flown by and I’m sure it has something to do with moving to our new house and “vacationing” in our backyard with tons of different friends for my kids to play with any day of the week. We have enjoyed the company of so many new friends from our neighborhood as well as old friends who just love to spend time around a lake. This potato salad is one inspired by backyard barbecues and just enjoying summer to it’s fullest.

We honestly didn’t plan to get away this summer for an overnight trip since we love spending time at the lake. However, my wanderlust got the best of me and gave me the crazy idea of heading to the Upper Peninsula (U.P.) of Michigan over Labor Day weekend. Yes, we are one of the crazies who will be driving up north where the traffic will be horrific, especially on the way home. But I’m sure it will be worth it since we will have the chance to have one last hurrah to spend together as a family before the hectic school schedule begins for all three of our kids. 

Our plan is to camp near a ton of waterfalls in the U.P. where we will hike, possible see the Pictured Rocks and just relax as a family. Since we won’t be having our traditional barbecue with family over Labor Day weekend (and enjoying this delicious Greek Potato Salad), I made it a week early to enjoy over this weekend. And of course we never need a holiday for an excuse to have barbecues and outdoor parties (which we have been doing all summer long).

Dietitian’s Dish

As you may notice I love adding Greek yogurt to dishes that call for mayo or sour cream. It’s an easy substitute and you add such a nutritional boost of protein and calcium just by adding the Greek yogurt. Feel free to vary the ratio of yogurt to mayo in this recipe.
