Thanks again - great combination of flavours for my palate.  potato salad with gherkins is always a favourite

I love gherkins too! I have different version of this salad, more traditional one. I post it too some day

Farfallina can you give us some examples of 'green salad' ingredients suitable to use here.  I can think of celery, cucumber, spring onions but would you include lettuce or anything else.   This sounds nice on it's own even without the addition of any other salad vegies.  What do you use? I love trying different potato salads each summer.

By green salad I meant Romaine lettuce or iceberg lettuce kind of salads 
I usually use one of these two or similar

I like potato salad too
The traditional Turkish potato salad is made of potatoes, chopped parsley, pickled gherkins (and/or pickled green pepper) and spring onion with a dressing that contains EVO, lemon juice, salt, pepper, sumac and pomegranate molasses (optional)
Since you like potato salad also that traditional one could be a nice alternative. Maybe you've already made it many times but I just wanted to share 

In Turkish kitchen celery is not used as an ingredient for potato salad but cucumber yes
Nevertheless you can use anything you like

Thanks farfallina.  I'll try the lettuce, it will certainly be different.  I do one with egg and spring onions, one with just parsley or a German version with the lot including bacon or ham.
