Low Fat Spinach Dip Potato Salad
"I came up with this recipe when I was asked to review a brand of Greek yogurt for my Weekend Carnivore (http://weekendcarnivore.com) cooking blog. I figured that I enjoy both spinach dip and potato salad. So, why not combine the two? Cooking time doesn't include the chilling time since it is up to you how long you chill it."

- Serves:

4-6
ingredients
- 15 1⁄2 ounces tiny new potatoes, skin on
- 3 1⁄2 ounces frozen spinach
- 2 1⁄2 ounces fat-free mayonnaise
- 3 ounces low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vegetable stock powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried chives
- salt & freshly ground black pepper, to season
directions
- Cook the baby new potatoes and let them cool slightly. I do this by steaming them for 30 minutes in my electric steamer but you could boil them too.
- While the potatoes cook and cool, defrost the frozen spinach and squeeze out all the excess liquid.
- In a large bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients and stir really well to fully combine. Use a good amount of seasoning since there is a lot of moisture going into this recipe. However, judge how much salt you need based on how salty your bullion powder is because it can be rather salty.
- Stir the spinach into the bowl just to combine with the mayo and yoghurt mixture.
- Cut the baby potatoes in half width wise and fold into the spinach mixture.
- Cover and cool in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flavours to develop.
- Take out of the fridge, give a good stir and serve.

I am originally from the Philadelphia area of the United States but have been living in London, UK since 1996. I now have dual American and British citizenship. I became a widow at the age of 27 in 2004 but have managed to fall in love again and was married again on July 19, 2008.
I have a double major honors degree in sociology and politics and am slowly working my way through a Masters.
I am a wanabee writer but until that dream becomes a reality I work in internet marketing where I build websites for profit. So, it is nice to come to a site like this and just enjoy being on the internet rather than using it as a work environment.
I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past two years I have lost over 80lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily.
These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it.
