Minted Potato Salad

By Fiona Haynes, About.com

This is a great potato salad to serve at your next cookout or picnic. Be sure to keep it chilled in a cooler. Non-fat or low fat yogurt, fat-free mayonnaise and fresh chopped mint make the cool, creamy dressing. You can easily change the quantities to cater for a larger group.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound baby red potatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup plain low fat (or non-fat) yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
  • 2-3 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil then simmer for 10-12 minutes until tender. Remove from heat, drain, then cool. Cut the potatoes into chunks. Combine yogurt, mayonnaise and chopped mint. Spoon over cooled potatoes and toss gently. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Serves 4-6.
