What would a BBQ or picnic be without potato salad? This salad is tossed with fresh herbs and a light, tangy mayonnaise rich in healthy omega-3 fats.

Potatoes are a good source of complex carbohydrates. Eggs are a rich source of choline needed for healthy brain development in babies, and seeds give this salad an extra protein boost.
