Recipe: Creamy Buttermilk-Herb Potato Salad

This creamy, herb-filled potato salad can be made with blue potatoes. It’s fun to play with color in your cooking, and the blue color is a source of flavonoids with cancer-protective benefits. This recipe also includes fresh herbs that are full of both flavor and antioxidants.
