Potato Salad

[Alan]

A few months ago, when I had gone for a buffet, I had seen & tasted Potato Salad- It was boiled & mashed Potatoes, with lors of chopped onions, tomatoes , a dash of pepper & a lil cream.

I was wondering if I could eat this Potato Salad for a meal( minus the cream) if I can skip the rice one day ( so that there is no excess carbohydrate intake). Health Expert Hubbers, pls advice.

300 g potatoes boiled peeled and mashed
1 oinion cut into small and thin strips
1 tomato cut into small cubes
2 boiled eggs (take away yolks if you are in diet)
4 tablespoons of olive oil
1 spoon of vinegar
1 teaspoon of garlic paste
coriander leaves chopped
bread crumbs
salt
pepper

In a wok saute the onions in a bit of oil until they turn brown, add this to the mashed potatoes, add tomatoes, eggs and mix well.

In a bowl add the olive oil, vinegar, garlic paste, salt pepper and beat well until it forms a sort of cream and pour over the potaoes mixture and mix well add bread crumbs coriander and serve. This is good light calorie potatoe salad
