Potato Salad

Potato salad is a summer favorite – perfect for casual entertaining or just as an everyday side dish. Although it’s been around for centuries, the American version is rooted in German tradition with hints of vinegar and mustard. Although no one knows who first added mayo to potato salad, it has become a common ingredient. Yet, made this way it can be full of fat and salt.

Our friends at Renown’s Health Improvement Programs, created a healthy, lightened up recipe without giving up the creamy, satisfying flavor. This salad features purple potatoes for a dash of fun color. It’s also easy to make, with protein rich Greek yogurt and egg whites. This simple but classic dish, is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. It goes well with grilled chicken, sandwiches, and much more.
