Treat yourself to a loaded potato salad! It’s the perfect side dish for a barbeque meal and summer outing. With cheese, bacon, and kefir, each bite is the perfect balance of creamy and crunchy.
Servings: 6Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Plain Lowfat Kefir
- 1 ½ lbs. red potatoes (about 12 small)
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup chopped bacon
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp stone ground mustard
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup chives, chopped fine
- ¼ cup chopped celery (1 stalk)
Directions
- Cover the potatoes in cold water and salt the water generously.
- Bring to a boil and let cook, uncovered for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Drain and let cool. Whisk together the mayonnaise, kefir, mustard, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to touch but still warm, slice them into ½-inch chunks and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and stir to coat.
- Mix in the celery and chives and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
- Before serving, season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Add more kefir if necessary or you desire a creamier texture. Top with chives, cheese, and bacon.
