Microwave Potato Salad image

Microwaving potatoes for this tasty side is a handy timesaver-especially in warm weather. I found the original recipe in an old cookbook and added roasted peppers and olives for color and zip. Chop your ingredients while the potates cook, and the salad's ready to chill in 20 minutes! -- Bonnie Carelli, Charlton Heights, West Virginia

Great weeknight meal. The potatoes came out fluffy, the veggies crisp, and the dressing was tangy. Perfect with some roasted chicken.
