Just in time for barbecue season!

I know I've been stumped when looking for healthy side dishes to bring to parties (or even just to serve at home when you're grilling out.) Well, look no further! This Creamy Potato Salad with artichokes and herbs substitutes Greek yogurt for mayo to add the same texture while removing a lot of the fat and calories.
SN: if you don't have an herb garden, I recommend planting one immediately! It's incredibly easy, even for apartment dwellers. I have a terra cotta pot with dill, basil, rosemary, and basil that I use constantly. Knowing you have fresh herbs around can also encourage you to experiment with new healthy recipes!

Guilt-Free Potato Salad

Creamy potato salad with artichokes and herbs

Start to finish: 1 hour (20 minutes active)

Servings: 6

2 pounds red potatoes, cubed

Salt

1 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar

5.3-ounce container fat-free plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup low-fat sour cream

3 scallions, thinly sliced

1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

2 tsps. minced fresh dill

2 tsps. minced fresh thyme

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

Ground black pepper

4-oz. jar chopped pimentos

14-oz. can artichoke bottoms, drained

2 ribs celery, diced

Place the potatoes in a large pot, then add enough cool water to cover by 1 inch. Add 1 tsp. of salt, then bring to a boil and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until just tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and spread out on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with the vinegar and set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the yogurt, sour cream, scallions, mustard, dill, thyme and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the pimentos, artichoke bottoms and celery. Once the potatoes have cooled, gently stir in until thoroughly coated. Chill until ready to serve.

This one’s CRAZY, but I KNOW you can kill it! 100 Burpees in ONE WORKOUT. Yowza!

Bitchin’ Burpees is an intense workout that’ll push you both physically and mentally. Make sure to take breaks and push yourself through the last few rounds. BEGINNERS: use the right modification for yourlevel (see below for modifier options & tips). STAY HYDRATED THROUGHOUT.

Keep a timer running as you complete the 6 exercise circuit (including breaks), and jot down your total time at the end. The shorter your breaks, the better your time (30-60 seconds rest per round is ideal), but listen to your bod. It’s about doing your best: you’re not competing with anyone but yourself.

Short on time? Set your timer for your desired timeframe (15, 20, 25 minutes etc) and count how many rounds you are able to complete in that time. Make a note of where you left off.

DO NOT sacrifice form for speed, switch to easier modifications if you need to, check your heart rate and pace yourself. 

You’ll need

  • A timer
  • A water bottle
  • A mat
  • A bench/chair
