Is potato salad a health food? YES! Cooked & cooled potatoes are rich in resistant starch which is a prebiotic fiber that feeds our gut bugs. This helps to ensure our gut microbiome thrives in both population & diversity. And research has shown the more diverse our microbiome, the better our overall health! Adapted from Ina’s Garten’s French Potato Salad, this Fresh Herb & Dijon Potato Salad uses healthy fats, fresh herbs & broth for flavour, making this dish super supportive of our gut health!

Join me this weekend in sipping on this tasty & refreshing Citrus Strawberry Vanilla Mocktail!

And it’s very low in calories, but because asparagus is high in fiber, it helps us to feel full. In addition to that, this dish is flavourful & takes around 10 min to prep. And feeling satiated, enjoying our food and meal prep that fits in our schedule are all important aspects of sustainable fat loss.
