Recipe for Exotic Potato Salad



Potatoes were first cultivated by South American Indians of the Andes, and taken to England in 1586 by Sir Francis Drake. From there their cultivation spread to Ireland, continental Europe and finally, in 1719, to the American colonies.

Potatoes are the most economical plate of food which you can serve and each dish is loaded with energy, especially when such a dish is combined with other delicious and nutritious vegetables and fruit.

The advantage of this recipe is that you can add ingredients to your liking - green pepper, cauliflower instead of cabbage, strawberries, gherkins, etc. Let your imagination run wild. You can also add more condiments to taste.

Ingredients
  • 4 big potatoes, peeled, diced and cooked
  • 1 small cabbage, shredded
  • 2 big carrots cut julienne style

  • ½ cup  yellow corn kernels
  • 2 cups black grapes
Ingredients for Dressing
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup natural yoghurt
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • Salt to taste
  • Ground black pepper to taste
Preparation
  1. Mix all the vegetables and grapes together in a salad bowl.
  2. Mix all the ingredients for the dressing and pour over the salad.
  3. Chill until needed
Enjoy!
