Low-Fat Potato Salad
"This is a deliciously creamy yet low-fat potato salad. The french dressing plus the mayo and yogurt adds some tang and colour to the salad. I have never felt the need to add any salt to this recipe. Plan ahead, this salad needs 2x4 hours chill time. NOTE: If you choose to use the whole eggs instead of egg whites the fat content of this salad will increase. It is also nice to use the 3 or 4 egg whites and then use one sliced whole egg as a decorative topping."

I followed the recipe exactly except for leaving out the radishes since our son does not like radishes. This was excellent. My husband is addicted to potatoe salad so I thought I would find a healthier version of his favorite high fat salad. He loves this one just as much and our son loves it too. Thank you for posting this wonderful healthier recipe! -
Now mine didn't come out like the pic since i changed the recepie to suit 5ppl. I didn't have radishes and added 8 strips of bacon diced and cooked to salad. Ya i know its suppose to be lowfat and it still is but you gotta have bacon! I used 15 small red potatoes so the sauce coated the chunks nicely...nobody likes a mayo fest. I added more salt and pepper to taste as I found it was lacking. I give mine 5 stars and stuck this recepie in my favorites. Thank you! -
Great recipe, was very good and everyone liked it. (Made it for 5 other people). Low-fat and delicious, my favorite combination! -
Tried this for my sister-in- law and her husband who has just had his 2nd heart attack. They were here over the 4th of July and I wanted a good tasting low fat salad to serve and this more than made the meal a success. It is full of flavor and the taste is unbeatable, GREAT!!! -
This was outstanding, doubled the recipe and have a 1/4 of it left. Everybody raved about this potato salad. Thank you, will be making this again. Nice having a different potato salad recipe. Made for ZWT 4--Family Pick

Hi!
Thanks for visiting my page! I just graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutritional Sciences in May 2008 after 5 years of hard work. My hard work paid off as I was accepted to a post graduate dietetic internship which I am currently completing and will be done in June. The internship allows me achieve professional designation as a registered dietitian. This is a very exciting but also a very busy time for me so I have not been contributing to zaar nearly as much as i'd like to.
I have always loved baking and cooking and looking for healthier recipes or ways to make recipes healthier to fit into my lifestyle. I am pesco-vegetarian as I do not want animals to suffer for my consumption.
I also love to be active in individual sports and train year round for triathlon. I am both an active racer and volunteer. The distance I prefer most is the Sprint distance - 750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run. This upcoming race season marks my 16th year of participating in triathlon. I love it just as much, if not more, than I did 16 years ago!! I also have a newfound love for Iyengar yoga.
I have a profound love for animals and the pretty little kitty you see as my icon is my 16 1/2 year old cat Snuggles. Sadly, Snug passed away in March 2006, and is dearly, dearly missed.

The photo below of our two new family additions. Layla (the calico) came home with us from the Humane Society in September and Saxon (black and white) came home two months later as a companion for Layla. Gladly they have become very good pals.
