Italian potato salad
This potato salad is very simple to prepare. It is low in calories and is healthier for you, as the dressing consists of olive oil and vinegar as opposed to mayonnaise, which we usually associate with potato salad. Other ingredients include cucumber, celery, green olives and diced onions. Make sure that the potatoes are not overcooked, as this will result in a mushy texture.
