Bavarian Potato-Cucumber Salad
"I prefer the taste of an olive oil vinaigrette rather than a mayonnaise dressing for potato salad. Cucumber slices add a fresh taste, too." —Michael Ruggeberg, Aspen, CO

This is the best potato salad I have ever made. I made it for a party and people begged to take leftovers home. The fresh cukes, I used the English ones wrapped in plastic wrap and didn't peel them, add a great flavor. The salad is light without the heavy mayonnaise taste of so many others. It wasn't watery for me--as another reviewer stated-- until the end--I made a triple batch. Just pour any excess off. The next time you make the recipe you can always add more potatoes or decrease the liquid if it is too moist. This is a keeper!

I would cut the cucumber into chunks rather than slices, and not salt it, to keep it fresher and crisper. The salt could be mixed into the vinaigrette, otherwise the potatoes taste bland and the cucumbers salty. Overall, not my favorite.
