- In an effort to make meal planning and cooking easier with my busy schedule, I am trying to prepare meals ahead of time on the weekend for the upcoming week. This week I made a red potato salad and gave it a healthy twist to the traditional potato salad. By using nonfat yogurt and reduced-fat mayonnaise this potato salad is much lower in fat. It's perfect to bring for lunch at the office and as a side for dinner. Here's the recipe:
- RED POTATO SALAD
