Add a Baked Potato to Your Meaty Salad

Submitted by: Mary 10/23/2009 10:31 AM

One of the ways I stretch chicken, turkey and egg salad, is that I add a medium size baked potato in with it. I simply bake one potato in the microwave for about 10 minutes. After its done baking, run it under water and you can peal the skin off with your hands. mash it up a little bit then put it in with the meat and start mixing your salad using your favorite goodies. Adding a medium potato just about doubles the mass of the salad and I have yet to get a complaint.

Instead of baking it why not nuke it? Save time while your hungry?

Since most of us need to eat more fruits and vegetables, how about using lots of minced celery? If you are a red or green pepper fan, use them. Chicken and turkey salad taste good with halved grapes and chopped pieces of apple as well. Use less meat and more fruits and vegetables!

A Puerto Rican roommate of mine always used to add some diced potato to her rice and beans. It was yummy.
