Continuing our series on picnic fare, todays Tasty Thursday is about that classic american dish .. Potato Salad. As lacto-vegetarians (means we have dairy but no eggs), generally store bought potato salad doesnt work for us since it contains mayo. However, we have found a pretty good substitute - Salad Cream. Here in South Africa, there is a brand called Trim which contains low oil and no eggs making it an extremely healthy choice. There is a light version as well, so if you're watching those calories, this is the way to go! This is an excellent side dish, a meal on it own or an additional relish in your burgers, hotdogs and braaied sausages.
Potato Salad
Potatoes (peeled and cubed)
Cross and Blackwell Trim Salad Cream
1/2 cup chopped herbs - Dill, Spring Onion, Chives
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
Microwave potatoes until cooked through.
Allow to cool slightly.
While still slightly warm, pour the salad cream over (enough to cover thoroughly) and mix - doing this while the potatoes are still warm will allow you to mix the cream in easier
Add salt, pepper and curry powder and mix through
Toss in half the herbs and mix evenly
Decorate the top with remaining herbs
