Easy Summer Cookout Sides, Part 1

This first recipe I have for you is a classic cookout side. Everyone loves it & I'm not sure you're even allowed to have a cookout without it. I give you:  Potato Salad. Not just any potato salad, but 
Dilled Potato Salad.

I may never buy pre-made potato salad again! Ok, I probably will, but I made my own yesterday & it was so easy, delicious & dare I say, (almost) healthy! It was definitely healthier than its store bought counterpart. Here's how I did it.

I cut 5 pounds of red potatoes into 1 inch pieces, then boiled them in salted water till soft. I drained & rinsed them well. While they were cooking, in a very large bowl, I combined my diced onion & peppers, greek yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle juice, SHS & dried dill. Phew. I mixed that all together very well, then added in the potatoes. Gently fold to coat potatoes. Very carefully fold in the hard boiled egg wedges & fresh dill. Chill for a bit before serving-it only gets better! See-easy peasy!


You will need:

5 lbs. large red potatoes, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 medium onion, diced
2 peppers, diced (red/yellow)
SHS (Sherrill House Seasoning)
1 T. dried dill
Fresh Dill, for garnish
1 ½ C. non fat greek yogurt
½ c. Mayonnaise
¼ c. mustard
¼ c. Pickle juice
6 eggs, hard boiled, cut into wedges
