The Weekend Epicure


New Potato Salad with Feta Cheese is an all purpose/all seasons salad that will meet the call of duty no matter what the menu.  It can be served as a main dish salad with crusty bread all with a nice Pinot Noir as an accompaniment. Or it can be serve with roasted chicken, French-cut green beans and a chilled Chardonnay for that special guest for dinner. Having pot-luck at the office; bring this dish and leave with an empty container. This salad will quickly become part your go to bank of all purpose dishes.
