This creamy potato salad is reminiscent of the classic potato salad that I had growing up. I love that I now don’t have to feel guilty while eating it. It is made with light sour cream instead of mayonnaise so it is actually a nutritious side dish loaded with vegetables, healthy proteins and starch.
Kids typically don’t like salads but you might find this one to be different. A Niçoise salad is kind of like the French version of a Cobb salad. It is loaded with such a variety of ingredients that your kids might actually have fun trying all of the different toppings. And it is a great way to use up leftover Easter eggs!
The great thing about this vinaigrette is that you can adjust the ratio of the ingredients to season the dressing to your taste. I have found that it is best to start by adding small quantities of each ingredient because it is easier to add more of something than to “fix” it once you have added too much.
I love how colorful this salad is, which is also an indication of the vitamins and nutrients that you’ll get with each bite. The salad doesn’t try to hide the veggies but the bright rainbow colors and seasoned taste of the Italian dressing help make them more palatable if your kids are not fans of eating vegetables.
Turn your leftover taco meat or fajita chicken into a brand new meal by making a light and refreshing salad with cilantro-lime vinaigrette.
Pairing salmon and spinach with ingredients such as feta cheese, avocado, tomatoes, and salad dressing is an excellent way to introduce your family to salmon and let them start to appreciate the flavor of this healthy fish.
Made with low-fat yogurt, this potato salad is a healthier version of the favorite American side dish and yet it is still creamy. It is best when it has time to chill and marinate overnight.
The best thing about this salad, besides how easy it is to make, is that you can add whatever veggies and seasonings you would like. It is light, refreshing and yummy when served chilled or heated.
