This was my first time making Greek yogurt potato salad and I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out. I LOVE potato salad, but I tend to steer clear of it since it’s overloaded with mayo. I didn’t think it would taste as good with Greek yogurt, but I’m happy to say I was wrong! I’ll definitely be adding this to my list of favorite appetizers.
Since the mix is 90% Greek yogurt, I do give you the option to add a scoop of Vegenaise (dairy-free mayo) for a little extra flavor. (For those of you who have never had Vegenaise, it’s delicious!)

[…] sooo tasty I had to include it! I tried subbing the mayo for Greek yogurt like I do in my potato salad, pasta salad and egg salad recipes, but… ew. This one just didn’t quite […]
absolutely delicious. I had a cup of this salad with grilled salmon and a side of roasted asparagus. One of my favourite meals and the lower calories in the potato salad allowed me to really enjoy a small glass of white wine with it!
