Introduction

Potato salad using drained nonfat yogurt. Draining the yogurt removes most of the whey, which takes away a lot of the sourness. In the alternative, you can use "Greek" yogurt, which has already been drained. A minimal amount of mayonnaise is used to add creaminess.

It's a two-day recipe, boiling potatoes and straining yogurt the day before.

Ingredients

    8 red potatoes, boiled, with skin
    2 T. Italian Dressing
    1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
    1 T. Mayonnaise
    1 T. dill weed
    1 t. kosher salt
    (optional minced garlic)
    2 T. flat parsley, chopped coarsely
    1/2 c. celery, diced
    1/4 c. red onion, diced
    1/4 c. red bell pepper, diced
    black pepper to taste

Directions

Night before: After potatoes are boiled, while they are still warm, cut into large bite-sized chunks. Leave skins on unless they are falling away. Drizzle Italian dressing onto potatoes and toss. Chill several hours or overnight. Drain yogurt by letting the whey seep out through a cheese-cloth lined sieve. When drained, it will resemble soft cream cheese.

Next day: Mix drained yogurt, mayonnaise, dill weed and salt. (You can add garlic if you'd like). Add parsley, celery, red onion, and bell pepper to potatoes. Add yogurt dressing and toss. Add pepper (and salt, if desired) to taste.

Makes 16-20 half-cup servings (depending on size of potatoes).
