Sinfully Good Potato Salad

This potato salad is absolutely delicious. The best part about it is: it's healthy! That's right, 3 grams of protein and only 15 grams of carbs. Enjoy! 


Ingredients
  •  2 pounds red potatoes with skin
  •  1-1/2 cups celery, diced
  •  3 stalks of green unions, chopped
  •  1/2 cup red onion, chopped
  •  4 Tablespoons pickle relish
  •  1/2 cup light mayonnaise
  •  1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise
  •  1 cup fat-free sour cream
  •  4 teaspoons mustard
  •  1 teaspoon celery seeds (optional)
  •  2 eggs, hardboiled, chopped
Directions

In a large covered saucepan, cook the potatoes in boiling water for 20-25 minutes or until just tender. Drain well and cool slightly. Peel and cube the potatoes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add celery, onion and pickle relish. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, mustard, salt substitute and celery seed. Pour over potatoes. Toss lightly to coat potatoes and add egg. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours before serving.

Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash


Ingredients

    1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and sliced
    2 tablespoons brown sugar
    1 small acorn squash, about 6 inches in diameter
    2 teaspoons trans-free margarine

Directions

In a small bowl, mix together the apple and brown sugar. Set aside.
Pierce the squash several times with a sharp knife to let the steam escape during cooking. Microwave on high until tender, about 5 minutes. Turn the squash after 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Place the squash on a cutting board and cut in half. Scrape the seeds out of the center of each half and discard the seeds. Fill the hollowed squash with the apple mixture.
Return the squash to the microwave and cook until the apples are softened, about 2 minutes.
Transfer the squash to a serving dish. Top each half with 1 teaspoon margarine and a pinch of cinnamon. Serve immediately.
