A high-protein tackle basic potato salad! This distinctive recipe is barely candy and barely salty with a scrumptious mixture of flavors and textures. The usage of Skyr as a substitute of mayo and the addition of steamed lentils amp up the protein whereas retaining this conventional aspect dish low in fats. Mild but wealthy tasting, simple to make, and ideal in your subsequent household get-together!
Potatoes are a staple for household dinners, regardless of the event, from mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving to selfmade candy potato fries on the aspect of a freshly grilled burger in the summertime. They’re starchy, filling, and present a ton of vitamins per serving.
Normally, potato salad is extra of a summer time dish, however I’ve discovered a singular option to put together it that makes it good for any and all seasons. In reality, the recipe I’m sharing right this moment is the right addition to your desk ANY time of 12 months.
Excessive-Protein Potato Salad
Normally, potato salad is fat-laden, very heavy, and type of…bland when it comes to style. However my kicked-up, protein-packed model is the full reverse!
By swapping out the normal dressing elements (like mayo or cream-based sauces) for high-protein, low-sugar Icelandic-style Skyr, the calorie content material is slashed in half, and the protein content material of the normal carb-heavy aspect is elevated. The marginally candy, tart taste of the skyr retains this salad gentle, zesty, and recent!
The addition of pickles provides a pleasant salty counterbalance, whereas the steamed lentils add EVEN MORE plant-based protein to this wholesome dish. This distinctive mixture of tastes and textures will delight your loved ones or friends.
