Low Fat Armenian Potato Salad

Traditional boiled-potato-and-mayo potato salad can get a little bland - why not mix it up this summer with a taste of the Caucasus? Armenian Potato Salad is a unique and low-calorie alternative, featuring olive oil in place of mayonnaise.

Notes

 Goes well with roasted lamb, chicken or simple fish recipes.

Cooking Time20 min

Ingredients

  • 3 red-skinned potatoes
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
  • 1 green pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • salt, pepper and cayenne pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil potatoes in their jackets until barely tender. When cool enough to handle but still warm, cut into generous bite-size pieces.
     
  2. Place potatoes in a large salad bowl along with onion rings and green pepper; mix well.
     
  3. Add parsley and lemon juice; carefully toss again.
     
  4. Dribble oil over the vegetables and season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper; toss and set aside for several hours for salad ingredients to mellow. If refrigerated, bring to room temperature before serving.
