August 18, 2016

IMG_4861

It’s the grilling time of year…when it’s easier to throw open the backyard and invite friends and family to share a potluck, than fire up the kitchen. Just in case you have the same plans as we do, here’s a twist on everyone’s favorite picnic salad, potato salad. Instead of gloopy mayonnaise and boiled white potatoes, this fresh take combines sweet and purple potatoes – both better-for-you options, along with Yukon golds.

Oregano adds a Mediterranean zip to the salad as well as many health benefits. Did you know Oregano contains small amounts of fiber, iron, manganese, vitamin E, iron, calcium, omega fatty acids, manganese, and typtophan? Wow…all in one spice! It is also antibacterial and supports a healthy GI tract. This dish is great the first day and even better the second with the wonderful oregano flavor. Enjoy!
