Herbed Potato Salad

Dill, parsley, and onion combine with yogurt and sour cream to make a pungent, creamy dressing. Because it travels well, this flavorful potato salad is wonderful for potlucks and picnics.


2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced

Place potatoes in a saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes or until tender. Drain. Cool slightly and peel. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; cut halves crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place potatoes in a large bowl; sprinkle with vinegar.

Combine yogurt and sour cream in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Add oil; stir with a whisk. Add onion and remaining ingredients; stir with a whisk. Add yogurt mixture to potato mixture; toss gently to coat. Cover and chill 1 to 24 hours.

    Your welcome everyone. :)

    I love Cooking Light Ireilly....but you can access their website for recipes too. I just enjoy the magazine because there are a lot of articles about fitness and other things as well. Plus I get excited to get it every month and flip through. I usually end up finding about 10 new recipes I want to try!! :laugh:

    Yes Gena, those meatloaf muffins are a hit!! :laugh: I think because parents can get their kids to eat them too is good!! :wink:

    And warm weather makes me crave potato salad! Weird huh?? :glasses:

    You're welcome. I really enjoy it! I like it a lot because it's not so much about "fat-free" but more about cutting where you can. Replacing with other items to make it healthier.

    Another great recipe post--Tami, you're so awesome!

    I made this for yesterday's "grill out" (with the Cooking Light Broccoli Salad). My goodness it is SOOO good!

    ...and while shopping for the ingredients, I found chopped parsley in a tube. Now, I know that sounds a bit odd (and a bit yucky), but I must say it's a huge time-saver. I also didn't have to get a gi-normous bunch of parsley to only use 2 Tbsp!

    Another yummy one to try for summer! I highly recommend it! :drinker:
