Summer Garden Potato Salad Recipe

I was raised on mayonnaise based potato salad.  The other year my mom (yes the noncook!) found this recipe and tried it.  I admit I was very skeptical but this was the bomb! I loved this potato salad.  Now if it is not prepared several times during the summer, complaints are voiced!
This potato salad is great warm or a day or two later after the flavors have blended.
Oh, and by the way, mayonniase based potato salads are so yesterday in my family now.
