Potato salad is the ultimate summer side salad for parties, picnics, and BBQ’s. This popular salad is a perfect side dish; it’s an American classic! My twist on potato salad is to use rutabagas which serves to cut down the number of potatoes used, and therefore carbohydrates, in the salad. I love this Reduced Carb Dill Rutabaga Mustard Potato Salad because it’s super yummy! And healthier too;)

I adore this salad because it’s so delicious! It is also very tasty served warm or chilled. Using both potatoes and rutabagas in this potato salad delivers the classic potato salad taste, but in a healthier way by reducing carbohydrates and introducing a veggie. Yay veggies!

Rutabagas are a bit potato-like and are often a bit sweet. They add a delightful orange color to the salad while the dill and celery add a nice touch of green. The eggs add a bit of protein and the celery and onion add a dash of crunch to the salad.

Try my twist on the classic dish potato salad and add a healthy extra dose of veggies to your meal. You’ll love it!

Rutabagas add a gorgeous orange color to the salad:)

 

Rutabagas, the Under-Used Veggie

I always think of rutabagas as the under-used veggie, truthfully, it’s kind of ugly. But, inside is a gorgeous orange color. It isn’t seen in many restaurants where I live and it isn’t used in many recipes either. Yet, this vegetable is a healthy alternative to the largely loved potato. I love to glorify it and use this veggie; plus, it reminds me of a recipe my mom always used to make with rutabagas called a pasty.

There is another recipe I created with the healthy veggie rutabaga, I call it the divine rutabaga lasagna rolls. It’s so delish and unique! I crave this dish and love its spectacular flavor!

I have another version of this Rutabaga Potato Salad on my site, but I love this recipe even more, it’s my fave! My personal favorite it to eat it warm, but I also fully enjoy it chilled like traditional potato salad.

Ugly, right?!?! But once you peel it, the inside looks much better and a gorgeous mellow orange color.

Thanks to the rutabaga, I can enjoy the potato salad taste with fewer carbs while adding another veggie into my diet;) Works for me! Hope it does for you too:)

When to Serve this Reduced Carb Dill Rutabaga Mustard Potato Salad

This veggie side dish is perfect at picnics, BBQ’s, any lunch or dinner meal. I love to enjoy this dish alongside hard-boiled organic free range eggs with a side of cheese topped crispbreads. This side salad would be great at holidays as well.

As I listed above, serve it warm or chilled. It will work well as a leftover too to add to a plate alongside a sandwich or other entree.

This Salad is Especially Good for Vegetarians

As a vegetarian, I love this salad because of the extra added in protein with the addition of the hard-boiled eggs. We have a farm near us that sells organic free range eggs from a farm which is humane certified. I love that! I’m a total animal lover. The eggs are so delicious too!

To protein-pack your meal, add this side dish to add in extra protein for everyone:)
