Potatoes
From the "Kids' Corner" - Crunchy Potato Salad
Kids like the crunch, while parents like the hearty doses of vitamins A and C provided in this salad.
1 medium to large potato
1/4 cup light mayonnaise dressing
1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard
3/4 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup finely chopped red sweet pepper
2 tablespoons sliced green onion
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
Sweet pickle slices (optional)
In a small saucepan, cook potato, covered, in boiling water for 20 to 25 minutes or just until tender. Drain well; cool slightly, peel and cube. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together mayonnaise dressing and mustard. Add potato, carrots, sweet pepper, onion and relish to dressing. Toss lightly to coat. Cover and chill 2 to 48 hours. Serve with pickle slices, if desired.
Makes 4 (1/2 cup) servings.
