Cranberry and Cucumber Potato Salad
A potato salad makeover adds in dried cranberries and fresh cucumber and is lighter than the traditional picnic food.
Ingredients
- 8 oz. small red or yellow-skinned potatoes
- 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek style yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons reduced fat mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon white balsamic or cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup diced seedless cucumber
- 1/4 cup thinnly sliced scallions
Instructions
1. Wash potatoes and boil with skin on for 15-20 minutes or until almost tender. Remove from heat and drain. Cool. Cut into cubes and set aside.
2. In a bowl, whisk together yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar and pepper sauce. Stir in cranberries and let sit 20 minutes to soften cranberries slightly.
3. Stir in potatoes, cucumber and sacllions into yogurt-cranberry mixture and toss to coat. Ajust seasonings as needed. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour before serving.
Mix it up! Switch out cucumber for diced apple or pear, or try it garnished with chopped, toasted pecans or walnuts.
