Kartoffelsalat – Potato Salad

Can a potato salad ever be healthy? Potatoes sometimes have a bad reputation for being high in calories. Considering how satiating they can be, their nutritional value is “ok”. Traditional German potato salad is prepared with lots and lots of store bought mayonnaise – below you can find a lighter version using vegetable broth (and a little bit of oil) instead.

Bunter Salat – Colourful Salad

Some people say that salads are boring. Or that they don’t have any taste. Or that they are difficult to prepare. None of that is true. Just get creative and toss together a few fresh veggies and voilà, you’ve got a meal.

Serve your salad with a slice of bread on the side. Or mix in a handful of pre-cooked pasta, lentils, potatoes, or rice. In this way, you have created a filling meal. (Also, it’s a good method to use leftover pasta etc. – use salads of all kinds to reduce your food waste.)
