Spicy Potato Salad
With all this hot weather we’re having here in the UK, it would be remiss of me to include a recipe that didn’t have ‘salad’ in the title.
Though it has to be said, this Spiced Potato Salad would hold its own in the winter months also.
This recipe is so easy to throw together, and if I’m cooking new potatoes, then I’ll add in extra so that I can make this potato salad the next day.
It’s a recipe I’ve been making for years, so I had to rack my brains to remember where the recipe came from. I finally found it in an old Slimming World cookbook called, Food Glorious Food.
I ran the potato salad recipe through my nutrition software to figure out the calories for you because the cookbook only referred to ‘Sins’. A portion comes in around 165 calories.
You can check out the video for this recipe over on Facebook at Nutrilicious Ladies.
