Ingredients

• 1 TBS white vinegar
• 3/4 cup mayo {regular or light}
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp Wasabi paste {more if you desire, I used 2 tsp}
• 3 large potatoes
• 3 stalks celery chopped
• 1/4 c. chopped red onion
• 1/4 c. green pepper chopped
• 2 hard boiled eggs
• black sesame seeds for garnish
• dash of salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Make ahead: Hard boiled eggs and boil whole potatoes with skin until just soft. Drain and chill potatoes in the fridge.
2. In a large bowl combine the vinegar, mayo, sour cream, wasabi, salt and pepper.
3. Peel the potatoes and eggs and roughly chop them.
4. Combine the celery, onion and green pepper.
5. Add the potatoes, eggs and veggies to the bowl with the sauce. Mix thoroughly and top with the sesame seeds.

The wasabi adds a fun zing to this salad.  You can add more than the recipe calls for if you can handle it. I doubled it, and loved it. My kids weren’t crazy about it, but they did eat it. It would be for the adult table at a picnic.

The sesame seeds at a great little crunch and make it look pretty!  They do get a bit soggy if you keep the leftovers, but I ate some a few days later and it still tastes great! This should keep just fine in the fridge for 3-4 days.
