    Look in the recipe forum - Tam posted some recipes a couple of weeks ago that were pretty low cal/fat and looked super good!

    try using 1/2 plain yogurt and 1/2 low calorie mayo..... makes a nice substitution. You can also add a bit of keens mustard powder to add a little zip!!!

    And yet another one, with a different twist:

    My Step-Dad is 100% Greek so we use Olive Oil for EVERYTHING!

    I don't know exact quantities but his potato salad uses:

    red potatoes (with the skin)
    white onions
    hard boiled eggs (two whole ones I believe)
    tomatoes
    minced garlic
    olive oil
    S&P to taste
    dill (optional)

    As everyone knows, olive oil is full of HEALTHY fat so it's a great substitute of mayo.
    Enjoy!

    I use Miracle Whip light(or how ever they spell it), because even regular Miracle Whip has lots less calories than regular mayo.

    I make the meanest potato salad around-- but it's definitely not low-fat or low-calories-- real food for real people around here. I just either choose to abstain from it, or eat a very small portion.

    If you want the recipe, though, I'd be happy to share it upon request.
