This recipe, originally published in
The New James Beard, and again in
Beard on Food, is an easy addition to your 4th of July picnic. Beard wrote, “Alexandre Dumas was not only a great playwright and novelist, best known for
The Count of Monte Cristo and
The Three Musketeers, but was also a great authority on food. This 19th-century recipe for potato salad is surprisingly simple and contemporary.”
