I tried potato salad from Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Wegmans. One stood out as the clear winner.

After tasting three different options, I found the best store-bought potato salad.

No summertime barbecue or picnic is complete without a few good side dishes, and a scoop of potato salad makes a great addition to a juicy cheeseburger, a plate of smoky ribs, or a hearty deli sandwich.To me, a good potato salad has a satisfying mix of textures, and enough flavor to liven up the potatoes without overpowering them.With barbecue season upon us, I decided to try the house-brand potato salads from Wegmans, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods to see how they compare. Here's how I ranked them, from worst to first.Prices may vary by location.The potato salad from Wegmans was the most expensive option I tried

The Wegmans potato salad was a bit soupy.
