Rachael Ray's Not Potato Salad image

Saw this on Rachael Ray's 4th of July show this year and had to try it. We were very pleased, this is a potato salad made with gnocchi. According to Rachael, this is a really good way to avoid the mess of peeling potatoes and hot boiling water for a long time in the July heat because gnocchi boils in just a couple minutes. Also, if you're making it for a BBQ you don't have to worry about it sitting out for a period of time because the dressing is oil based instead of mayo based like most potato salads. Enjoy!

  • Add your veggies and parsley to the mixing bowl.
  • Drain the gnocchi and toss them, still hot, into the mixing bowl.
  • You can serve the salad now or let it chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to develop more of the flavors.
