Being from Texas, me showing up to a picnic or cookout without some form of potato salad is like showing up to the gym without headphones—it's a necessary tool to get you in the proper mood. Here's my #FitMenCook take on a Southern classic that will leave your taste buds screaming and your muscles pumped. Seriously: You'll grow after eating this.
