Warm Potato Salad, Low Fat image

Dietitian's tip: A mixture of smooth and whole-grain mustards forms the base for vinaigrette much lighter than traditional mayonnaise dressings. This salad is most flavorful when served warm or at room temperature. Makes 6 "healthy" (read: really small) servings.

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb small potato (red or white new, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar or 2 teaspoons sherry wine vinegar
2 tablespoons minced shallots
4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (Italian)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a saucepan, add water to cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Drain and let stand until just cool enough to handle.
  • Cut each potato in half (or quarters, if the potatoes are large) and place in a warmed serving dish.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mustards, the vinegars and the shallot until well blended.
  • While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to make a thick dressing.
  • Stir in the parsley, salt and pepper.
  • Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes, mix gently and serve immediately.
