Unique and Healthy Mediterranean Potato Salad
The other day someone asked me why I am so funny in person and so serious in my blog. Well, here is the truth. English is my second language and I still struggle with sentence structure. So, I always takes the easy way out. I do an extensive amount of research, then go beg my teenage daughter to proof my post. Having her edit them usually costs me either a trip to the mall or her favorite sushi restaurant. However, worst thing is that I need her help. Darn it! Of course, I will never ask my husband. He is an English fanatic--"there no excuse for bad English." He would delete the entire blog and rewrite it. I hope I do not have to explain how that makes me feel.Now, if you are asking yourself what English has to do with potato salad. Well, nothing. I just thought that you should know. If you don't care about my English, don't take it out on this salad! This salad is simple, refreshing and heart healthy.
