Potato salad is a staple at spring potlucks and picnics, but too much added fat and salt can make it an unhealthy choice. This recipe uses fresh spring garden favorites like peas and dill for added flavor. It’s mixed with a dressing made of Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard that reduces both the total fat and calories.

Yield: 6 servings

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 medium baked potatoes, cubed (skin-on)
• ¼ cup fresh spring peas, blanched if desired

• ½ cup fresh spinach or kale leaves, finely chopped
• ¼ cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Directions

1. Place the cubed potatoes, peas, onions, and spinach in a large bowl.
2. In a small dish, stir together the yogurt, mustard, dill, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and stir to coat.
3. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
