Ingredients for 10 Minute Low Fat Potato Salad

  • 1 pound small red potatoes, scrubbed
  • Plain Fat Free Yogurt
  • Salad Dressing
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Spicy Mustard
  • 1/4 cup finely diced dill pickle
  • Green Olives

How to Make 10 Minute Low Fat Potato Salad

  1. Scrub potatoes thoroughly and pierce each several times with a fork.
  2. Microwave potatoes on high for 6-7 minutes, or until tender. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.
  3. While potatoes are cooking, whisk together Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and yellow mustard in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Stir in the diced dill pickle and chopped Kalamata olives.
  5. Once potatoes are cooked, immediately transfer them to a colander and rinse under cold running water until cool enough to handle. This stops the cooking process and helps create a smoother texture.
  6. Roughly chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Gently toss the potatoes into the dressing and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately or chill for later.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
