Spicy Potato Salad Recipe
So, we've been trying to watch what we eat and unfortunately, potato salad is one of those side dishes that we've had to cut out. But let's be honest, depriving ourselves of the foods we love never works out! We always end up overindulging the first chance we get. So, we decided to try and limit the calories in this delectable side dish. And you know what? It's so good that it can even be served as a main dish!
A few swaps we made in this recipe from the original recipe:
- Replace full-fat mayonnaise with Light mayonnaise mixed with fat-free or light sour cream. (This is a great technique; we use it for many other salads as well).
- For added flavor, boil potatoes in spices
- Add crunch to the salad by including celery and onion.
- Add more spice with fresh sliced jalapenos (optional)
- Use small red potatoes for a nice texture.
- Adding Apple Cider Vinegar to a dish provides a tangy flavor.
This is a spicy potato salad with lower fat content, but your guests won't be able to tell that it isn't made with full-fat mayonnaise. The combination of light mayonnaise and fat-free or light sour cream creates a creamy texture that mimics mayonnaise. Additionally, adding apple cider vinegar adds a tangy flavor that is sometimes lacking in low-fat and fat-free mayo.
We hope you enjoy this spicy potato salad recipe as much as we do! If you make it for your 4th of July party or summer BBQ, let us know what you think!
