Using white beans and yogurt is a great way to create a creamy dressing that doesn’t have as much fat or calories but is rich and delicious. The best part is that it also adds a lot of extra fiber to your salad.
This recipe is meant to be a riff on a potato salad but using the white beans. The technique of using the bean and yogurt as a base will work great, however, with a conventional potato salad or even tuna salad. The best part is there are endless variations. For example, you can flavor it with garlic and a bit of parmesan for a Caesar salad taste or some Jerk seasoning to take give it a warm Island flavor.
