No
Guilt Potato Salad
- 8
medium Yukon Gold potatoes, unpeeled and cut into 1
inch cubes
- 3
avocados, peeled, pitted and cubed (it helps to plan
ahead for this recipe, buying the avocados a few days
in advance so they are soft but not mushy)
- 2-3
Tbsp. fresh lime juice (I get ~2 Tbsp. per lime by hand
squeezing them)
- 1/2
cup diced sweet onion and 1/2
red sweet pepper, diced into small pieces that will
still show up nicely for color
- 1/4
- 1/2 cup cup fresh cilantro/parsley leaves, chopped
(cilantro is strongly flavored - I used ~2 Tbsp. cilantro
(often called flat parsley) and the remainder curly
parsley so the cilantro flavor did not overpower the
senses)
For
Dressing: 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes); 2 cloves
crushed fresh garlic; 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard; 2 teaspoons
sugar; 1/2 teaspoon
salt; 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper;1 Tbsp. olive oil;
1/2 cup plain unflavored yogurt (I use Stonyfield Farms)

No
Guilt Potato Salad
(cont.)
- Boil
the diced potatoes in a large pot until just tender
(about 10-15 minutes - keep trying one to not overcook).
White
potatoes are boiling, cube the avocados and toss with
the lime juice, setting aside. Drain
the potatoes and cool by placing in a bowl of cold water.
Then drain very well and place into a large salad bowl.
- To
make the dressing: Put all ingredients except yogurt
into a blender or food processor. Blend thoroughly so
garlic is finely diced. Gently mix in yogurt, either
on low-speed or by hand. Taste. You may prefer to add
more seasonings like salt, pepper, or sugar.
-
Pour dressing over potatoes and toss completely. Carefully
add cilantro/parley, avocados, onions, and peppers and
gently toss. Great at room temperature or chilled.
Makes
8-10 cups of salad. Cut the recipe in half if you don't
need this much. If
there is any left-over, be sure to chill and enjoy as
a midnight snack. Or mix it with a bit of left-over salmon
or tuna and then roll up in a wrap sandwich the next day.
Yum, yum! Be sure to check out www.avocado.org
