Baby Red Potato Salad

This is a really good homemade potato salad recipe.  I'll warn you, it is different than most potato salads, but in a good way!  It's not as creamy, mustardy, or eggy and most recipes = better for you! I found this recipe on Gina's Skinny Recipes (I really like her site).

 What you need:
  • 4 cups baby red potatoes, cut in small pieces
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced (I left these out)
  • 3 scallions, diced
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp reduced fat mayonnaise
  • salt and fresh pepper
What to do:

1. Boil the potatoes in water until soft (about 10 minutes).  Drain and let cool.

2. While the potatoes are cooking mix together the red onion, green pepper, mustard, olive oil, vinegar and mayonnaise and salt and pepper. 

3. Once the potatoes are done and cool, combine the mixture with the potatoes in a bowl.  Add scallions and additional salt and pepper to taste.  

4. Serve room temperature or refrigerate until ready to serve.

This serves about 6, 3/4 cup servings.  107 calories per serving.
