Potato-Carrot Salad
No barbecue is complete without rich and creamy potato salad. The only problem is this vegetable-based side dish is loaded with calories (to the tune of 400 per cup).
My revamped version replaces half the potatoes with carrots to cut back on cals and carbs, while increasing fiber. Plus, you get a shot of beta carotene for radiant skin. Dig in and eat happy.
