Caribbean Potato Salad -This incredible potato salad is creamy, luscious, tasty and chock full of vegetables.
I would say this is the perfect potato salad for any summer barbecue and is great for picnics too. It is almost summer and barbecues, cookouts, parties and picnics are all the rage at this time of the year.
If you are planning one or attending one, here is one recipe that would fit right in, regardless of the menu. It is a great make ahead dish and you can use any potatoes you have on hand, it will work just fine. It is very important that you lightly salt your potatoes when boiling -It makes a lot of difference
What makes this salad uniquely Caribbean is the addition of peas, carrots, and eggs and of course, Heinz creamy salad dressing- I just love Heinz salad dressing, it is a childhood favorite.
It is available in some supermarkets, here in the United States and you would definitely find them in Caribbean and African markets. Enjoy

You can get the dressing at Whole Market or Tonyโs if you leave in Chicago area. Love Belizean potato salad have friends from their… hope this help everyone.
Carol says
Referring to the comments about the Heinz Salad dressing.. I ordered the Heinz Salad Cream from Amazon..Iโm assuming itโs the same as the Heinz Salad Dressing in the recipe. It just arrived. The taste is almost exactly the same as Miracle Whip Salad Dressing. You can buy it readily at most American stores.
Thank you for this amazing recipe!
Robin says
My family loved the potato salad! Iโm in Las Vegas. Didnโt locate the salad dressing. Iโm sure thatโll make a big differenceโ
Carol says
Use Miracle Whip instead of the Heinz Salad Dressing. It tastes the same.
Monica L.Wilson says
This Heinz salad dressing is not available. What substitute dressing can I use please ??? Thank You.,,,
ImmaculateBites says
Just use mayo or ranch dressing .
Carol says
I think Miracle whip tastes the same as the Heinz Dressing.
Rosemarie Podlewski says
It looks really good, but in mine i use real mayonaise, and have never used carrots
I think i will leave the carrots out i like carrots but only cooked, I’m Polish and make it about the same way!
Except for the carrots,
I some time put cut up raddishes in it,
