Serves 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pound uncooked red potato(es)
  • 3 slice uncooked turkey bacon
  • 1/4 cup reduced-calorie mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp parsley, fresh, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp table salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/2 cup scallion(s), chopped

Directions

  1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover them; set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes; drain. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice each into quarters.

  2. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a hot skillet or in the microwave until crisp; drain on paper towels. Break bacon into small pieces.

  3. In a small cup, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, parsley, salt and pepper.

  4. Tranfer cut potatoes to a large bowl; add bacon and scallions. Toss with dressing until coated. Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.

  5. This colorful potato salad boasts tangy scallions and smoky turkey bacon. For variety, swap the red potatoes for Yukon Gold potatoes and diced red onion for the scallions.
