Quick and Healthy Potato Salad

With the 4th of July weekend approaching, I thought it would be good to put a few recipes on here that would be great to have with all of your family. For those that do not know, I am not a fan of Mayo at all! I don't eat it on anything and don't eat anything that has it in the ingredients list. This potato salad is a much healthier version of potato salad and is made with plain yogurt instead of mayo. It's a great side dish for almost any entree. Enjoy!

Quick & Healthy Potato Salad
Serves 4
  • 1 1/2 pounds red potatoes
  • 1 cup non-fat plain yogurt
  • 1/3 cup minced red onion
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced celery
  • 1/4 cup minced dill pickles plus 1 tablespoon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley
Place whole potatoes (do not poke) into microwave-safe dish. Cover dish. (If covering dish with plastic wrap, poke small hole in plastic.)
Microwave on high 10 to 12 minutes depending on strength of microwave. Use oven mitts to remove dish from microwave. Carefully remove cover from dish and beware of steam buildup, and let cool.
Cut potatoes into bite-size pieces, and place in a large bowl with remaining ingredients. Stir well to mix.
Refrigerate until ready to be served.
