A creamy, healthy potato salad combines Greek yogurt, our neutral whey protein and mustard for a smooth and light dressing without using mayo. I’ve used a combination of new potatoes, cauliflower and cannellini beans (instead of solely using new potatoes) for a broad mixture of easily digestible starch, micronutrients, fibre and protein. A mixture dill, chives and parsley are delicious but use whichever soft green herbs you love.
