A tasty, tangy, colorful and LOW FAT! potato salad I concocted after having a similar one at a restaurant operated by brothers from Columbia. It's a great change from the same boring mayo-based potato salad. TRY IT!

SERVES 8 -10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs red potatoes, cooked, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes when cool, about 6 cups total
  • 3 large carrots, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and steamed until crisp-tender, cooled
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4-1/2 cup chopped cilantro, depending on taste
  • 3 large tomatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks

Dressing

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine potato cubes, carrot pieces, chopped onions and cilantro in large bowl.
  2. 2
    In a small bowl whisk together dressing ingredients and pour over salad ingredients.
  3. 3
    Gently combine tomato chunks with the rest of the salad.
  4. 4
    Chill and allow flavors to blend.

Lovely! I added jalapenos that I sauteed with the onions and carrots. I bet it would be good with balsamic vinegar, too!

    Very tasty and healthful salad. I used red wine vinegar, vege-sal for the salt and used the maximum amount of cilantro (yes, it was important to the dish). I added a half cup of onions for a total of 1 cup (as a result my BF thought it was a bit too oniony but I thought it was just fine.) As for the vegetables, I steamed the carrots in a steamer on top of the boiling potatoes for about 12 minutes. You could also boil both of them together I guess. The potato package recommended 8 minutes, but I didn't think they were done in the alloted time so I boiled longer. Also, I used about 30 baby carrots sliced in half. Thanks for this recipe!

    Easy, tasty, and perfect for my husband who hates mayonaise. I used garlic salt for the seasoned salt. My kids did not like it, but that was expected. I think it would make a great side dish for a summer mexican menu. Maybe not authentic, but it's colorful and refreshing. Go heavy on the cilantro, it makes the dish.
