Summer is almost here and that means picnic and BBQ season is kicking into high gear. I love hosting parties, especially in the summer. This easy Italian potato salad recipe is perfect for a summer celebration or to bring to a potluck.

Even though summer is an exceptionally busy time of year on our farm, I think it’s important to always make time for family and friends.

Food always is the centerpiece of everything we do around here. Maybe it’s because of our deep connection with fruits and vegetables because we’re farmers or maybe it’s just because I just love to cook?

I think it’s a little bit of both. Food is so welcoming. Growing up, my mom always made sure there was plenty of extras “just in case” someone stopped in for a visit. I find myself now following her same philosophy.

Are you a potato lover too? Potato salad is always a staple at any summer gathering I host. While potato salad is synonymous with parties and summer gatherings, I like to make potato salad year round.

My husband is not a huge fan of mayonnaise so a traditional potato salad is not always his first choice. So I often make this Italian potato salad. Similar to a German potato salad, this Italian style potato salad is mixed with vinegar and oil instead.

And…it also has bacon in it. Hello! Another one of my favorite ingredients. You can’t go wrong with bacon. The addition of plenty of basil gives this recipe an Italian flair.

This salad is so vibrant. I love how the red peppers and green peppers give it some pop. 

This salad is versatile because can be made a day in advance or served to your guests warm. It tastes great both ways, but I’m all about prepping as much in advance as possible so I can spend more time with enjoying everyone’s company and less time in the kitchen the day of the party.
