Grandma’s dill potato salad doesn’t have to be dull. Elevate your sectioned party plate by adding an African superfood to the mix. Baobab fruit uses its rich profile of nutrients – fiber, vitamin C and calcium – to boost that BBQ favorite. But don’t stop there. Salty bacon and sweet shallots add the contrast you need to those creamy golden potatoes. With so much flavor in one bowl, your dish is an event in and of itself.
