Serves 8.
SODIUM CONTENT: 46.3 mg per serving
INGREDIENTS
6 c. diced potato (about 2 lbs. peeled and cut into approx. 1-inch cubes)
1/4 c. white vinegar
1/4 diced celery (1 sm/med stalk, with leaves)
1/4 c. unsalted sweet pickle relish (available online at healthyheartmarket.com)
2 T. minced red onion (1/2 small onion)
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1 t. ground mustard
1/2 t. celery seeds
1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper
2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and diced
2 slices low sodium bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 T. chopped fresh parsley
DIRECTIONS
Place diced potatoes in a pot and add water enough to cover by about an inch. Bring to boil over medium-high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring once or twice, until potatoes are tender, about 7 minutes.
Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Add the vinegar and, using a rubber spatula, toss gently to combine. Let stand until potatoes have cooled slightly.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the celery, relish, onion, oil and seasonings. Once potatoes have cooled, pour the mixture over top, along with the diced egg and bacon, and gently fold into potatoes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about an hour. Can be made a day ahead of serving.
