Ingredients

Directions

  2. Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Drain the potatoes well and allow them to cool slightly so they can be handled.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the low-calorie mayonnaise, egg substitute, and celery seed until smooth.
  5. Add the cooled potatoes, chopped celery, and minced onion to the dressing.
  6. Gently toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for 10 minutes before serving.

Note

For best texture, ensure potatoes are not overcooked; they should hold their shape when mixed.

You can substitute regular mayonnaise for the low-calorie version if you prefer a richer flavor, though this will increase the calorie count.

Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste if desired, keeping in mind the sodium content of the ingredients.

This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
