Enjoy a refreshing twist on classic potato salad with this vibrant recipe featuring green garlic, sumac, and tangy dill pickle brine. Perfect for picnics or potlucks! This recipe comes to us from Chef Aniceto Sousa of Mediterra.

What Makes Green Garlic Different from Regular Garlic? 

Green garlic is essentially young garlic that is harvested before the bulbs fully mature. Unlike regular garlic, which has fully formed, mature cloves, it features tender, slender stalks and small, undeveloped bulbs. It also has a milder, fresher flavor compared to the stronger taste of mature garlic, as well as a subtle sweetness and less pungency. This way the flavors of the sumac and dill pickle brine can still shine through our Potato Salad with Green Garlic.
