Tried this the other night and was pretty good!

Low Calorie Potato Salad

3 c. cooked, diced potatoes (about 5 med.)
1/2 c. frozen green peas (thawed)
1/4 c. diced red or green pepper (we did not add)
1 tbsp. minced onion
1 hard boiled egg, chopped

DRESSING:

1/2 c. low calorie mayo (we used Miracle Whip Light and added a bit more to match the 6 oz yogurt below)
1/2 c. plain nonfat yogurt (we used a 6 oz Carbmaster vanilla yogurt since we didn't have plain - just made it a tad sweet)
1 tsp. sugar (did not add this as there was enough sweetness in the yogurt)
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Since we wanted to eat it fresh that night, we boiled the potatoes, peeled them and stuck them in the freezer for a little time, until the dressing was finished. The salad was not real cool, but was still very tasty, light and fluffy!

Combine salad ingredients in a 2-quart salad bowl. Combine dressing ingredients and pour over potato mixture. Toss until well blended. Chill 24 hours for best results, but can be served immediately. Yield: 8 (1/2-cup) servings.
