Healthy Potato Salad
This Healthy Potato Salad is a fresh, lighter take on the classic. Made with pantry-friendly canned potatoes and tossed in a creamy, tangy Greek yogurt dressing, it’s an easy side dish that doesn’t skimp on flavor. Like all of my recipes, this potato salad is completely customizable–-mix up the seasonings or swap the nuts to make it your own!
Ingredients
- 2 15-ounce cans whole potatoes, drained and rinsed (4 heaping cups)
- 1 cup celery, sliced
- 1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tablespoon seasonings of your choice, (I love to do a mixture of 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder - but feel free to mix it up however you see fit!)
- 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup pistachios or roasted nuts of your choice, roughly chopped (for topping)
Instructions
- Cut canned potatoes into bite-sized chunks and place in a large bowl along with celery.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon zest and juice, paprika, salt, pepper
- Fold the dressing into the potatoes and chill for at least 30 minutes if time allows.
- Just before serving, sprinkle generously with green onions and chopped pistachios.
