Excessive-Protein Potato Salad

Often, potato salad is fat-laden, very heavy, and type of…bland by way of style. However my kicked-up, protein-packed model is the full reverse!

By swapping out the normal dressing components (like mayo or cream-based sauces) for high-protein, low-sugar Icelandic-style Skyr, the calorie content material is slashed in half, and the protein content material of the normal carb-heavy facet is elevated. The marginally candy, tart taste of the skyr retains this salad mild, zesty, and contemporary!

The addition of pickles provides a pleasant salty counterbalance, whereas the steamed lentils add EVEN MORE plant-based protein to this wholesome dish. This distinctive mixture of tastes and textures will delight your loved ones or friends.
