Buffalo chicken potato salad

(NC)—Choosing local vegetables is not only a great way to eat healthy but it’s also fun for the whole family. For this recipe visit your favourite farmer’s market to find the seasonal potatoes, red onions and cucumber.

Serves: 6
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound red potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
700 mL (3 cups) cooked chicken, cut into bite-size pieces (about 3 cups)
230 mL (1 cup) peeled and chopped cucumber
120 mL (1/2 cup) Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise
120 mL (1/2 cup) chopped red onion
120 ml (1/2 cup) chopped celery
35 mL (2 1/2 tbsp) cayenne pepper sauce
30 mL (2 tbsp) crumbled blue cheese

Instructions:

Cover potatoes with water in a 3-litre saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.

Toss potatoes with remaining ingredients in serving bowl. Sprinkle with blue cheese. Serve chilled or at room temperature and, if desired, on a bed of lettuce, garnished with celery leaves.

Did you know? Mayonnaise is a great substitute for traditional cooking oils since it locks in flavour and moisture, giving you juicy, tasty chicken breasts with the added benefit of omega-3, a polyunsaturated fat. Since Canada’s Food Guide recommends eating a small amount (30-45 mL or 2-3 tbsp) of unsaturated fat each day, mayonnaise is a great ingredient to add to your dish or meal.
