Sounds great but what is a salad cube?
I knew I would get that question :) It is like a relish...it can be found near the pickles at the grocery store :)
Make sure to get sweet salad cubes/relish. Dill is good too, but real southern potato salad is made with the sweet.
This recipe is like my gma's.
