Healthy Potato SaladIf you have been reading our website you know that a healthy potato salad is a red potato salad and it is low glycemic because it has resistant starch. Red potatoes are higher in nutrients than other potatoes. It is one of our printable low glycemic recipes. Resistant starch occurs when some complex carbohydrates, like rice and potatoes are cooked and then chilled. It is starch that "resists" digestion enough to make it slow burning so it keeps your blood sugar level. Your appetite suppressing hormone rises and you stay fuller longer which makes it a great midday meal. Potato salads are delicious especially during the summer and there is an endless variety of tastes when you try different herbs and vegetables. Serves 4 Put the last 5 ingredients in a jar and shake well. Wash the potatoes well but do not peel. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the potatoes until firm but not too soft - about 10 15 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes. Test with a fork. Remove with a slotted spoon and allow them to cool at room temperature before you put the dressing so it doesn't separate. Cut into quarters when they are cool enough. Add the rest of the ingredients and the dressing and mix well. This salad will be very satisfying with a green salad with a few raw vegies and perhaps a little feta cheese and light dressing.
