Potato salad with zucchini and crispy bacon. Since bacon and maple syrup are a great match, I added a bit of maple syrup to the dressing. A sweet and savory potato salad.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

What a tasty spin on traditional potato salad! The subtle maple flavor in the maple Dijon dressing adds a sweet, rich accent to the diced potatoes, sliced zucchini, and salty bacon.
