AVOCADO POTATO SALAD



Avocado Potato Salad image

I got this potato salad recipe from a friend who got it from an adapted recipe from the California Avocado Commission. It's a wonderful recipe, that is lighter because the wonderful tangy dressing substitutes for mayo in most salads such as this. Lots of wonderful flavors, textures, and colors! You may serve this at room temperature, but it is best covered tightly and chilled for 1 to 3 hrs before serving. Can be prepared up to three hours in advance before serving.

Potato Salad with Avocado Dressing image

Recipe from My Kitchen Chatter Cookbook---Potatoes blended with creamy avocado dip and cheddar cheese gives this potato salad just the right zing for your family and friends next get together.

Provided by Pat Duran

Categories     Potato Salads

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 medium potatoes, scrubbed, peeled and quartered
4 medium green onions, thinly sliced( some green part too)
1 c diced celery
6 large hard boiled eggs, diced
1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 c broccoli floret's, chopped, no stems
1 1/2 c avocado dip,lighthouse or any of your choice
1/2 c miracle whip salad dressing
1 tsp lawry's seasoned salt
1/4 c cooked, crumbled bacon

Steps:

  • 1. Place potatoes in a kettle or large saucepan and cover with cold water, so that they are covered by at least 2 inches of water. Cover and bring to a boil; add a little salt and reduce heat to simmer potatoes for 8-10 minutes; until they are fork tender and not mushy. Drain and set aside.

Pour avocado mixture over potato mixture and fold mixture together to blend and coat ingredients.

Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes or new potatoes, hold their shape well in salads. Avoid starchy potatoes, such as Russet potatoes, as they tend to fall apart.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: To prevent the potatoes from becoming mushy, cook them until they are just tender. You can boil, steam, or roast the potatoes.
  • Let the potatoes cool before assembling the salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light dressing: A light dressing, such as a vinaigrette or lemon-herb dressing, will help to keep the salad from becoming heavy.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or basil, will add a pop of flavor to the salad.

Conclusion:

Potato avocado salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy avocado, tender potatoes, and light dressing, potato avocado salad is a surefire hit at any gathering.
