Texas De Brazil Potato Salad

The Texas De Brazil Potato Salad gets its unique flavor from the wide variety of herbs and aromatics often found in the restaurant’s signature salad bar spreads. This potato salad is lighter, has just the right amount of tang and is flavored to perfection. It enhances the flavors of smoked or seared meats while providing a lighter alternative among the other dishes.
