The Food Factor: Ranch Potato Salad
Video by Jonathan Parrish
If you aren’t a fan of traditional potato salad, give this Ranch Potato Salad a try! Low-fat mayonnaise reduces the calories and fat to make this a healthier choice.
I love the crunch of celery combined with the softness of the cooked potatoes. And who doesn’t love ranch dressing?
Remember your food safety rules if you take this potato salad to any sort of gathering. Keep it chilled by nesting your serving bowl in a larger bowl partially filled with ice. Or, use smaller serving bowls and, when one is empty, replace it with a fresh bowl from the fridge. Any potato salad left out for 2 hours or longer should be thrown away.
