{Gettin Saucy on EMM} Creamy Pesto Potato Salad... yes please!

Kim... is "saucy" meets bad ass... she's a married mother of three very "active" children, manages an Italian restaurant and is one of the original "Saucy Sisters". On top of a hectic schedule she also helps with a ministry outreach that feeds the homeless on weekends... she has an amazingly generous and giving heart and is truly one awesome woman! We are so blessed to call her a friend and a fellow Earth Monkey Mom!

Since the EMM theme of the month is Get Healthy, I knew I wanted to give you a different approach to healthy. Our products are made with locally grown organic products (when available) with no additives or preservatives, ever! So being healthy is not just about the 4 letter word D&%T, (that we're not saying this moth), but it's also about making good choices for you and your family!



This blog post we decided to focus on the delicious, the amazing Creamy Pesto Dressing…yes I said dressing! There are many uses to the Creamy pesto, such as pasta sauce , sandwich spread and I love making pizzas with it. Although, ask Linz and she would tell you that you can eat it with just a spoon! But my partner in crime, my Saucy Sister has one of the best uses yet! Wait for it, Wait for it………Creamy Pesto Potato Salad!!!!! Not being a fan of traditional potato salad myself, I was super excited to here her idea for this one! She thought it up while menu planning a catering job for one of our favorite ex-employee's. So next time you go to a cook out, wow them with a potato salad that is out of this world!!



{Here is what you will need}:

A small bag of red potatoes, boiled and chopped small

1lb. of bacon, cooked and crumbled

2 Chicken breasts, grilled or baked, and diced

2 red peppers, diced (feel free to load it with any veggies you would like)

1-2 tubs of Saucy Sisters Creamy Pesto (depending on how Saucy you want it)



After all your ingredients are cooked up toss everything together is a large bowl and chill for at least an hour. And there you have it, the best Potato Salad EVER!!





You can get Saucy Sisters products everyday at Redrock Italian Eatery (after 4 pm), Tuesdays at the Ashland growers market and Thursdays at the Medford growers market! ~OR~ You can check them out on Facebook!
