I have always loved potato salad! Unfortunately, usually as I eat it I can feel my butt expanding as the mayonnaise enters my system. When I found this recipe it made me really happy! http://www.SkinnyTaste.com by Gina Homolka is one of my favorite web sites and if anyone would have a skinny potato salad it would be her! Not only is this a delicious recipe but it presents itself beautifully as well. Always a plus when you are entertaining!
The is supposed to be done with small red potatoes but unfortunately I couldn't find any that I could buy individually at the store. If I wanted a years supply of potatoes it would have worked but it wasn't for me this time around. I definitely modified her recipe a little bit and have posted my take on her recipe below! I definitely am a saucy girl so if you would like it to be less saucy half the ingredients of the sauces except for the olive oil.

Ingredients:
1. Cook the potatoes through in salted boiling water and when they are ready dice them into small pieces. Mine were about a 1/2 inch.
2. Mix the bell pepper, shallots, dijon mustard, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and mayonnaise thoroughly and season with salt and pepper. Let the flavors blend for a little while. By the time you are finished with the taters you should be good to go! They take a little while I discovered.
3. Blend the sauce, bell pepper and shallot mix with the potatoes. Then add the scallions. Reserve a few to sprinkle on top for when you put it in the serving dish!
This was my side dish for my BBQ chicken in my previous post. I think this is a great dish for a BBQ or a luncheon. It is attractive on the table and delicious!
Enjoy!
