This substantial salad offers a healthy balance of vegetables and protein. It provides a wide range of textures, colors, and seasonings.

I love this spread this over whole wheat toast for breakfast with nut butter or to thicken my fall soups. My son Josh loves it with bananas. You won't believe I didn't add any sugar!

This is a figure friendly way to indulge in potato salad and the flavor is absolutely divine. This salad can be served warm or cold and is great for a picnic (no mayo). I love creamy potato salads, but this one has such bold flavor, I don't miss the mayo (and neither does my waistline).
