Introduction

According to the GI Diet, baby potatoes, cooked "al dente", and re-cooled for use in salads are low-GI. Sounds like alchemy/voodoo to me, but I do love potato salad!

This one uses nonfat yogurt, low-fat mayo, cooked, chopped egg whites and finely diced tangy veggies like pickles, radishes, green peppers and whatever strikes your fancy! Adjust as needed... This calorie calculation is for one 1/2 cup serving but the recipe is for four- servings. According to the GI Diet, baby potatoes, cooked "al dente", and re-cooled for use in salads are low-GI.
