July 4th - Potato Salid

Dear [NAME],

I just want to wish you and your family a good Fourth of July!  I hope that you have time to draw close to family and friends and to reflect on the rich meaning of this special time of year.

One of my favorite things about July 4th is FOOD.  I wanted to share a favorite recipe with you.  Put this dish out on the picnic table and watch it disappear!

Sincerely,

Mimi's Perfect Picnic Potato Salad

• 6 medium potatoes, washed and cut in half lengthwise
• 3 stalks green onion
• 2 large celery stalks, chopped fine
• ¾ cup mayonnaise
• 4 eggs, boiled
• Cajun Seasonings
• Salt and pepper to taste

Place potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover.  Over medium heat, boil until potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.  Remove the potatoes and let cool.  Remove the skins of the potatoes.  Cut into small cubes and put into mixing bowl.  Chop eggs and add to bowl.  Add the celery, onions, Cajun seasonings, salt and pepper and mix well.  Add the mayonnaise and mix again thoroughly.  Cover salad and refrigerate for three to four hours.  Serve on a bed of lettuce.  Serves six.
