Potato and Egg Salad

Salads are a full meal for many of us. They can be made in an extremely healthy manner as well as with dressings which could be high in fat. I always feel that any salad recipe is actually an idea shared – an idea of a dressing that can be used with different ingredients. If I don’t have the ingredients given in a salad recipe, then I either try and substitute it if possible or skip it..:)

Potato and Egg salad is something I have had multiple times in restaurants, but have never attempted making it at home. I knew it wasn’t really a difficult affair. So when I was planning a few salad recipes for this month, it struck me that I should try this out. All recipes called for mayonnaise, and I wanted to avoid that. So I tried making some changes to the original recipe and found that it really tasted nice and I didn’t miss the mayonnaise in the dressing. I am using greek yoghurt in this recipe, since it is thick and creamy. In case you don’t have greek yoghurt, you can try it out with hung curd too – though overall the sourness in the recipe will be higher.
