“Natures” because this salad is 100% natural, and almost raw. The potatoes are cooked but other than that everything else is raw which allows for this american staple to actually be healthy and packed with nutrients. This salad is rich and creamy, you wouldn’t guess it could actually be good for you! This is the kind of salad you bring to party and not tell anyone whats in it until the dish is empty. Because believe me, the dish will be empty this salad is so good. It’s almost sunday, and for americans, that means Super Bowl. Super Bowl is another one of those american get togethers that people use as a reason to over indulge in the worst foods possible with a copious side of alcohol. Most people go to Super Bowl parties not to actually watch football, but to imbibe. If you are one of those people, have fun, and try to be kind to your body. I decided to make my version of the potato salad, (which my husband says people would love to eat with a stack of ribs) to hopefully inspire some to try and be more mindful with what they put in their bodies this weekend. I know there are many of you out there, like me, putting out delicious wholesome twists on party staple foods, which gives me hope for the health of this nation.
