Sweet Potato Salad!

Serves: 6
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Nutrition Score per serving: (1 cup): 167 calories, 2 g fat (10% of calories),1 g saturated fat, 35 g carbs, 3 g protein, 5 g fiber, 77 mg calcium,1 mg iron, 263 mg sodium

Classic potato salad is made
with lots of mayo and often hard-boiled eggs. This version uses lowfat
mayo and skips the egg to cut the calories from about 550 to 167 and
trim the fat grams from 46 to 2.

Ingredients

  • 3 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 bunch scallions (about 6), trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • ¼ cup minced fresh parsley
  • 1/3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup nonfat buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Cut sweet potatoes into bite-size
chunks. Place in a steamer and
steam (over boiling water) for
10 minutes or until tender when
pierced with a sharp knife. Let cool,
then transfer to a large bowl. Add
scallions, celery, and parsley.

Whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk,
lemon juice, and mustard
until creamy. Pour over potato
mixture and gently toss to mix. Season
with salt and pepper to taste.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

To jazz up flavor, add a tablespoon
of sweet pickle relish and several
halved cherry tomatoes or both.

About Me

About Me
Cari Shoemate

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
