Why You’ll Love Healthy Potato Salad
🌱 Light and Healthy: Say goodbye to heavy mayo-laden potato salads. Here, I use zesty white balsamic vinegar or 🍋 lemon juice, paired with the goodness of olive oil, creating a light and healthier dressing. 🥚 Protein-Packed: Additionally, hard-boiled eggs add protein, making this salad a satisfying and standalone side. 🎨 Customizable: Moreover, you can make it your own by adjusting ingredients like eggs, herbs, and red onions. 🌞 Picnic-Perfect: What’s more, the absence of mayo makes it picnic-friendly and a great companion to grilled meats and fish.
How to Prepare Healthy Potato Salad
Hard-Boil The Eggs: Boil eggs for 10 minutes until hard-boiled, then transfer them to an 🧊 ice bath for easy peeling. Prep and Boil the Potatoes: Peel and cut yellow potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking. Next, boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, around 10 minutes. Arrange the Salad: Drain potatoes, arrange them on a plate 🍽, and artfully nestle egg wedges amongst them for a lovely presentation. Add Seasoning: Lastly, add 🍋 lemon zest, lemon juice, red onion 🧅, and herbs 🌿 (dill, parsley, or basil) for flavor and drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, and gently mix.
Variations and Substitutions
As always, everything should be measured with your heart ❤️. Love eggs? Add a few more, or leave them out entirely.
Red onions are optional, but add a nice sharpness and color to the dish. Dill is classic in this preparation, but any fresh herb can be used: parsley, oregano, and basil are nice substitutes.
Best Served With
