With a bit of warmer weather coming my way lately, I started to fantasize about tasty summer salads and BBQ foods, and that got me thinking about potato salad recipes.
I’ve been on the lookout for a good one that fits into my Weight Watchers Points range, but is still incredibly delicious and enjoyable for my friends who are not Weight Watchers. So when I found this deliciously low calorie Weight Watchers German Potato Salad Recipe, I was PSYCHED!!
This potato salad is so full of flavor and the bacon adds such a nice dimension to the taste, I was really quite overwhelmed. And considering that the typical German Potato Salad Recipe can have as many as 12-15 Weight Watchers Points per serving, this 3 Point Recipe for potato salad is a real bargain! It’s creamy and crunchy and oh so heavenly.
I simply made a few changes and substitutions to the traditional red potato salad recipe and managed to lower the Points value significantly, without sacrificing any of the fabulous taste.
With a Weight Watchers Recipe for German Potato Salad this good, there’s no need to wait til Memorial day to make it!
