Even though I am South Beach and no potatoes are allowed, my mom was over so I decided to use up the rest of my purple potatoes to make a red white and blue potato salad – red (red pepper) white (egg whites) and blue (purple potatoes)!.
![P7030011 I know they are purple, but they look blue!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/p7030011.jpg)
![P7030015 I don't like mayo, so I used 1/3 cup of this dressing](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/p7030015.jpg)
![P7030018 I did have a bit - it was good! :D](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/p7030018.jpg)
Red White and Blue Potato Salad
- 1 pound purple potatoes
- 1 hard boiled egg, diced
- 2 stalks of celery, diced
- 1/2 red pepper, diced
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/3 salad dressing (your choice)
Mix and let sit in the fridge for at least a few hours. Check out our host this week for the other participants – he’s going on vacation with his family so is deciding a day early this week!
Quick post, my mom is over and I need to play hostess! See you tomorrow! 😀
Great for the 4th…happy day to you!
Very pretty! I never even seen purple potatoes before!
You know what’s interesting – I just read that cold potatoes with something acidic like vinegar are actually NOT considered a starch – unlike warm potatoes. I wonder if that means you can eat them on SBD?
Certainly no beachy, but definitely tasty I am sure. Looks great!
Great idea! It turned out so pretty, adn festive!
Well I consider potato a good starch, lots of fiber! The dish sounds amazing. I’ll have to try out purple potatoes one of these days, I’ve seen a coupe posts about them lately!
Have a Happy Fourth
