It's great to mix things up a bit now and then - this warm potato salad with chicken, veggies and a sun-dried tomato dressing takes plain to sublime.
I love a one hit wonder mid-week. This is so easy to make, serve up on big plates with nothing else. Dinner is done. Of course, you can also use this recipe as part of a family spread, cue the meat, the other salads, the breads...just a delicious part of the whole. But we did have it on its own. No judgement.

If making ahead, don't add dressing until immediately before serving as warm potato will soak up the dressing and the salad will become gluggy.
