Normally, potato salad is extra of a summer time dish, however I’ve discovered a singular technique to put together it that makes it excellent for any and all seasons. Actually, the recipe I’m sharing in the present day is the proper addition to your desk ANY time of yr.

Excessive-Protein Potato Salad

Normally, potato salad is fat-laden, very heavy, and kind of…bland when it comes to style. However my kicked-up, protein-packed model is the overall 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 facet is elevated. The marginally candy, tart taste of the skyr retains this salad mild, zesty, and contemporary!

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 visitors.

I’m at all times searching for distinctive twists on traditional dishes, and this recipe definitely suits the invoice! I can’t wait to share it with my household quickly!
