As a registered dietitian and mom of six, I love barbecue season. It’s one of the most fun and simplest ways to host a crowd in a way that pleases everyone. However, many people
feel overwhelmed by the amount of meat served at a barbecue when they’re trying to reach their health and weight goal. Let’s not discount the sides to balance your macros out!
Potatoes get a bad rap in the health world, but that’s a huge misconception. They’re loaded with fiber and vitamin C, in addition to being budget friendly. Just remember portion control and categorize it towards your serving of a plant-based carb when monitoring your weight and blood sugar. Try this potato salad from my Syrian roots for your next barbecue. And beans are a great option too.
6 medium Idaho potatoes (see note)
1/4 cup Tuscanini Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice or Tuscanini Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon ground allspice, such as Pereg
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced (optional)
2 scallions, chopped (optional)
Boil the potatoes in a large pot until tender, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly, then cut into small squares or slices and place in a medium mixing bowl.
Add olive oil and lemon juice, then the seasonings. Gently mix everything together.
Arrange sliced eggs on top of the potatoes. Garnish with scallions, if using.
