When it's BBQ season, the meat is usually the star of the show, but that doesn't mean your sides have to be boring! Everyone loves a classic potato salad and this one is the perfect addition to a summer spread. It's loaded with colorful veggies, creamy dressing, and delectable smoky Gouda. We kept it meat-free but if you want to step it up a notch, add some crispy bacon pieces!

Youngsters Hickory Smoked Gouda is ideal for shredding and melting. This Gouda is cold smoked over Hickory wood to infuse a velvety, toasty smokiness that adds a level of depth to the potatoes. Find it at your local Whole Foods or retailer.
