Ingredients
| 4 quart Water |
| 1 pound Red potatoes |
| 1 tsp. Olive oil |
| 2 large ear Corn, sweet, white, raw (cut kernels from cob) |
| 1/2 medium Avocados, raw |
| 1 lemon yields Lemon juice |
| 3 tsp. Salt Free Creole Seasoning |
| 1/2 tsp. Salt |
| 1 Medium Green bell peppers (diced) |
| 4 large Green onions (thinly sliced crosswise) |
| 4 Medium stalk Celery, raw (diced) |
Instructions
When the water boils, reduce the heat and simmer for about 25 minutes until a paring knife slips into the potatoes with slight resistance (the potatoes should be slightly firm after cooking and not mushy).
Remove and let cool. Cut into 1/2 to 3/4 inch cubes and chill.
While the potatoes are cooking, place the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Add the corn and cook for about 10 minutes. Toss frequently. Remove to a bowl and chill.
While the corn and potatoes are chilling, place the avocado, lemon juice, spice blend, and salt in a large bowl.
Using a fork, mash the avocado until smooth and the mixture well blended. Chill the resulting dressing.
When the potatoes and corn are chilled, place them in the large bowl with the dressing.
Add the peppers, onions, and celery and fold together until well blended.
Chill and serve.

Recipe Notes
This potato salad is a riff on the crab boil or crawfish boil which usually has potatoes and corn along with the seafood. It is perfect for your picnic or cookout because you can make this in advance and serve it with grilled fish, seafood, or even burgers.
You can use Old Bay Seasoning for this recipe or your favorite Cajun seasoning blend. Old Bay has less sodium than you might think: about 50 mg per 1/4 teaspoon. Having these types of spice mixes on hand will make sure that you can always make something new out of something familiar.
