Is potato salad a health food? YES! Cooked & cooled potatoes are rich in resistant starch which is a prebiotic fiber that feeds our gut bugs. This helps to ensure our gut microbiome thrives in both population & diversity. And research has shown the more diverse our microbiome, the better our overall health!
Adapted from Ina’s Garten’s French Potato Salad, this salad uses healthy fats, fresh herbs & broth for flavour, making this dish super supportive of our gut health!
Serve this at your next BBQ, at the cottage or as a side for any meal this summer! It will go over as a favourite for everyone.
This potato salad is the perfect side for any grilled meat.
Directions
