<br>It's barbeque season! You need something to serve at those cookouts along with the grilled goodies. Oh, look, we came up with two new recipes that'll blow everyone's mind...
<br>
<br> 
<br>Warm & Spicy BBQ Potato Salad

<br>
<br>HG Tip: If using wooden skewers, first soak in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
<br>
<br>
<br>Another HG Tip: To remove the pit from the avocado, carefully run a spoon around the outside of it to loosen. Gently remove.
