Mix up a healthier potato salad at your next cookout!
Potato salad is delicious anytime of the year. Loaded with processed mayonnaise, and sometimes refined sugar, it’s not usually the healthiest on the menu. The Skinny Ms. version of a classic is made by adding a few veggies and using vegan mayo combined with two types of mustard. We also use red potatoes which have more nutritional value than white potatoes. This creamy vegan potato salad will satisfy both your tastebuds and your waistline.
Feel free to leave the peelings on the potatoes for even an extra nutritional boost. Did you know potatoes contain antioxidants and phytonutrients? Some of these are carotenoids, flavonoids, and patatin, which fight against free radicals.
