Overall, this is a good recipe. It's easy to make and the flavors are good. However, I would make a few adjustments to the dressing.

The dressing is a bit too thick for my liking. I would recommend thinning it out with a little bit of milk or water.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or honey.

This German potato salad is a definite keeper! It's creamy, tangy, and packed with flavor. I especially love the addition of bacon and pickles. It's the perfect side dish for any summer gathering.
