Meal-Prep Mayo-Less Potato Salad

Recipe Description

This Meal-Prep Mayo-Less Potato Salad is one of my favorite picnic salads. Don’t get me wrong, I love mayonnaise, but sometimes I find there can be too much in potato salad and it can be too filling. 

To make this potato salad, start by cooking potatoes and eggs. Add celery, red onion, and parsley to a bowl. In a separate bowl, make the dressing from sour cream, mustard, red wine vinegar, and seasonings. Add the potatoes and eggs to the celery. Dress the salad and serve immediately or refrigerate in a covered container for up to five days.

To make the Meal-Prep Mayo-Less Potato Salad, you will need the following ingredients:

Simplicity. I made this for our family picnic last weekend, and my kids loved it! It was light and refreshing without all the heaviness of traditional potato salad. I really appreciated how easy it was to prep ahead of time too.

Delicious. Hice esta ensalada para un picnic familiar y fue un éxito total. La mezcla de ingredientes es ligera y fresca, y no extrañé la mayonesa. Mis hijos pidieron más. El sabor es espectacular y me siento orgulloso de haber creado algo tan bueno.
