Creamy Potato Salad – Clean&Delicious®
Opposites attract.
That’s what they say.
And when it comes to potato salad nothing could be more true for my beloved mom & dad.
My dad was always an Italian-Style Potato Salad kind of guy and my mom loves a good old-fashioned, mayo-coated, creamy potato salad. And since I’ve already shared my version of my dad’s favorite, I thought it was time to send a little love to my mom.
The secret to lightening up a creamy potato salad is to swap out all or most of the mayo with some non-fat, organic greek yogurt. This will help you cut back on calories and fat all while adding in a good dose of protein from the yogurt (greek-style yogurts pack much more protein than traditional yogurt).
I also recommend just a kiss of red wine vinegar to get that ‘tang’ we all love so much from the mayo. I promise, if you use this formula:
greek yogurt+kiss of vinegar = you won’t ever miss the mayo!
This salad makes a great addition to almost any summer grilling menu, so get your grills fired up and enjoy.
