“SAŁATKA JARZYNOWA” is the Polish name for this common side dish, which translates to “vegetable salad” but many Americans might simply think of it as Potato Salad. Whatever you decide to call it., it’s a fantastic side dish that’s present at every Polish table during the holidays, and it also makes the perfect side dish for barbecue get togethers as it’s a perfect complement to grilled and smoked meats.
Once you have this side dish made, now it’s time to boss up and sauce up so be sure to grab a bottle of our Sweet Heat BBQ Sauce which is perfect for your family backyard barbecue.
