Warm Salsa Potato Salad Recipe Is a Fiesta of Flavor + Preps in Just 15 Minutes!
A vibrant and flavorful twist on traditional potato salad, our warm salsa potato salad recipe combines tender potatoes with Pico de Gallo, corn and black bean salsa, fresh cilantro and extra-virgin olive oil. We like to serve it up warm so that the flavors in the salsa really bloom and get soaked up by the potatoes, but you can also chill it in the fridge as a make-ahead dish and serve it cold. (Bonus: cold potatoes contain healthy resistant starch.) This zesty potato salad pairs perfectly with grilled chicken, shrimp, steak or burgers.
Want to customize the recipe? Feel free to add some crumbled bacon for a touch of smoky flavor and crunch. For extra tang, a drizzle of fresh lime juice just before serving adds the perfect touch. You can also swap out the corn and black bean salsa for any other salsa you prefer. If you’ve given this recipe a try, comment below to let us know.
