WW SPICY CAJUN POTATO SALAD

WW SPICY CAJUN POTATO SALAD

Ingredients:

For the Potato Salad:

• 1.5 pounds red or Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks
• 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (adjust to your preferred spice level)
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spiciness)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 1/4 cup diced red onion
• 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
• 2 green onions, sliced
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover them with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 8-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not mushy.
2. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Adjust the Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness.
3. Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, diced celery, diced red onion, diced red bell pepper, and diced green bell pepper.
5. Pour the prepared dressing over the potato and vegetable mixture and gently toss until everything is well coated.
6. Refrigerate the potato salad for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
7. Before serving, garnish with sliced green onions and fresh parsley, if desired.
