Healthy Potato Salad

Submitted by Deantini

"This is my very own recipe that has developed over the years. I have never actually measured anything - until now - so each time it would be a tad different. It is a bit different in the sense that it has curry in it. Also - the dressing is quite light since there is very little mayo in it and it is mostly based on strained yogurt. I serve the toppings in bowls on the table and each person can customize their salad this way"

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 12
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs white potatoes, cooked, peeled an cubed
• 1 1⁄4 cups plain 1% yogurt
• 1⁄4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons onions, shredded on cheese grater
• 1 pinch sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 teaspoon curry
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• fresh grated pepper

• Toppings

• chopped chives or green onion
• halved grape tomatoes
• cubed cucumber

directions

1. strain yogurt in strainer or in a coffee filter placed in a sieve, let the whey run off for about 1 hour. Yogurt will have same consistency as sour cream.
2. boil potatoes, peel, let cool and cube. Best used when fairly cold, but I have also used them while still warm if I do not have the time to wait.
3. Mix yogurt with mayo, onion, sugar, salt and lemon. Add curry 'to taste' - I use 1/2 tsp but not everybody likes the same amount of curry so add a bit at a time. Mix and add more salt/pepper if needed.
4. Add cubed potatoes to mix and let cool.
5. Serve with toppings.

Refreshing, delicious, creative! Made exactly as posted with full amount of curry. Perfect with grilled chicken. Thanks Deantini.

I enjoyed this without the toppings. Loved, loved, loved the curry addition and I can see that this will surely be made again here. Used tiny Yukon Golds halved and to my taste this came out perfect. A little tang and a little spice that raise the humble potato to a very yumful salad.

I like to take potato salad to work and often the dressing gets too watery by the time I eat it because of the vegetables that are added in. In this recipe they sort of rest on top and don't leak into the salad. I used homemade yogurt and just a little mayo. What a great idea! The curry is very nice here.

Really yummy, we loved them very much!<br/>I did not use cucumber as my husband has problem to digest them, but I'm sure this would be great as well. I used roma tomatoes as I had them on hand and for the curry I have an indian delicious "potatoes masala" that was perfect for this recipe. It was wonderful and coloured! <br/>Thanks a lot for this great salad we will prepare this again for sure
