An easy-to-make potato salad recipe full of color and flavor, with variations for Greek, garden veggie and baked potato salad.

Potatoes are naturally gluten-free. To be sure this dish is, too, double check the label of the ingredients indicated with a “*” to be sure they are gluten-free. We love the added texture and nutrition that comes with leaving the potato skins on. If you don’t, just remove the skin.

Ingredients:

  • 3 Express Bake PotatOHs
  • 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt*
  • 1/3 cup minced red onion
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced celery
  • 1/4 cup minced dill pickles plus 1 tablespoon juice from jar
  • 1/2 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

1) Microwave PotatOHs on high 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Use oven mitts or potholders to remove them from the microwave. Let cool for 3 minutes and then remove wrapper.

2) Cut potatoes into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl with remaining ingredients; stir well to mix.
