LOW FAT SPINACH DIP POTATO SALAD



Low Fat Spinach Dip Potato Salad image

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.

Categories     Spinach

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: For the best results, opt for firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss. These varieties hold their shape well and won't get mushy in the salad.
  • Cook Potatoes Properly: Boiling the potatoes is the most common method, but you can also roast or steam them. Just make sure they're cooked through but not overcooked.
  • Cool Potatoes Completely: Before adding the potatoes to the salad, let them cool completely. This will prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh spinach adds vibrant color and flavor to the salad. If you only have frozen spinach on hand, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture before using.
  • Don't Overmix: Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Overmixing can result in a mushy salad.
  • Chill Before Serving: For the best flavor, chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

This low-fat spinach dip potato salad is a healthy and delicious side dish that's perfect for potlucks, picnics, and summer gatherings. With its creamy spinach dip dressing, tender potatoes, and crisp vegetables, it's a crowd-pleaser that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a light and refreshing potato salad recipe, give this one a try!
