Here’s one for the mayo haters!! In this recipe, plain nonfat Greek yogurt replaces any mayo/mustard. Greek yogurt is magical!  I was inspired by a recipe on the food network, but tailored it to my taste and to make it healthier.

Creamy Avocado Potato Salad

Ingredients:

1. 5-6 medium-sized potatoes, boiled (or microwaved)
2. 2 avocados, diced
3. 2/3 cup Fat Free Greek yogurt
4. Red onion, diced
5. Cilantro
6. Jalapeños (optional)
7. Salt & pepper to taste

Directions: Boil & peel potatoes. Dice potatoes and avocados.  The portions on ingredients 4-7 are really based on your personal preference. Try to keep a good balance so none of the flavors is overwhelmin.

Remix ideas: If you don’t have Greek yogurt on hand you may try tossing the salad with some olive oil. Another option I’d like to try is a potato salad with hummus. You might also add some additional vegetables like French cut green beans or asparagus. I also once made a delicious potato salad with pesto.

On the side I had a flatout bread. I threw it in the oven to make it crunchy, and then cut it up with a pizza cutter. My favorite Sabra hummus for dipping!

I forced Kevin to eat the leftovers from last night’s Veggie Fried Rice. I didn’t want any more peas!

Are you a potato salad fan? Mustard? Mayo? When I was younger I would just eat the boiled potatoes with the salt & pepper before Mom or Grandma would add the nasty mayo stuff!!  The only condiment I really tolerate is BBQ sauce. Or ranch dressing -  if I’m on a foodcation.

FIVES! Want to answer some of these?
