Creamy Potato Salad

Most of my life I never like potato salad because of the commercial mayonnaise used even in home made salads. First the commercial mayonnaise creates in me nausea and secondly I know from reading the label that those are not the things I want in my body.

Another thing is that I never liked about potato salads is that you do have to eat lots of other vegetables with tit to get the right balance of carbs (not too many).

Here is my version which is creamy, filled with lots of vegetables, yummy and healthy without the chemical additives.

Ingredients:
3 potatoes (cooked and diced)
2 stalks of celery or 1/2 green pepper (finely chopped)
1 carrot, chopped
Chives or chopped green onions to taste
Hand full of fresh parsley or dill weed
1/2 cup Nayonaise (from health store) OR  Yogurt Dip
3 tsp mustard
3 tsp lemon juice

Directions:
1. Once sliced keep aside as well as some parsley.
2. Mix Nayonnaise or Yogurt Dip, mustard and lemon juice together to make the dressing.
3. Mix all ingredients together with dressing.
4. Decorate the top with parsley.
