It is delicious! Came out just like in your picture, and it tasted of summer. Thank you for the recipe. The only thing I did was the glaze/apricot preserve at the end. Chopped 3 apricots, added sugar,cinnnamon, a bit of water, and cooked it slowly, for quite a while, then pureed it, it was really good.

Heh, I'm also loving potato salad at the moment - I like that this recipe doesn't have a mayo/sour cream base actually, it looks so nice and fresh!

I've just printed the apricot tart, raspberry crostata and potato salad recipe. I think I'll make the salad for dinner tonight. Sounds easy and delish. I wish I had that dough in my freezer. I better get busy.

Well, I always make the same potato egg Hellman's mayo potato salad (I even made it today!), but I love your cucumber and dill addition, and will deviate from my recipe!
