Healthier Old-Fashioned Potato Salad
Here's a traditional potato salad, but with a healthier twist. It's made using low-fat mayonnaise, fresh herbs and spices, excludes egg yolks, and boasts an abundance of celery for a nutritious touch.
Ingredients
- 5 potatoes
- 3 eggs
- 1 ½ cups chopped celery
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup sweet pickle relish
- ¼ cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
- ¼ teaspoon celery seed
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, then cool, peel, and chop.
- While the potatoes are cooking, place eggs into a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and let stand for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from the hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel. Chop the whites; discard the yolks or save for another use.
- Combine potatoes, egg whites, celery, onion, relish, mayonnaise, mustard, celery seed, garlic, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix together well and refrigerate until chilled.
