Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 200 grams low-fat turkey breast
- 3 small pickled cucumbers
- 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and carrots. Dice them into small even cubes approximately the size of the peas.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the diced potatoes and carrots to the boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes, or until just tender. Do not overcook.
In the last 2 minutes of cooking the potatoes and carrots, add the frozen peas to the pot. Drain the vegetables and let them cool completely.
While the vegetables are cooling, dice the low-fat turkey breast and small pickled cucumbers into small cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, carrots, peas, diced turkey, and pickled cucumbers.
In a small bowl, mix together the low-fat Greek yogurt and low-fat mayonnaise to create a creamy dressing.
Add the yogurt-mayonnaise dressing to the mixed salad and gently toss until all ingredients are well coated.
Chop the fresh dill and add it to the salad along with the salt and pepper. Mix well.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled, garnished with extra dill if desired.
