Spicy Tuna Potato Salad

 Jami Sorrento was our June Daring Cooks hostess and she chose to challenge us to celebrate the humble spud by making a delicious and healthy potato salad. The Daring Cooks Potato Salad Challenge was sponsored by the nice people at the United States Potato Board, who awarded prizes to the top 3 most creative and healthy potato salads. A medium-size (5.3 ounce) potato has 110 calories, no fat, no cholesterol, no sodium and includes nearly half your daily value of vitamin C and has more potassium than a banana!

After seeing a few friends doing the so called “Daring Kitchen” challenges, I decided to join the fun in June. Darling friends, nothing in this world is random and guess what the challenge was? To create a healthy version of my favorite dish of all time:

1. Boil potatoes and carrots in salted water.
2. In blender, place tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha, turmeric, and season to taste. Pulse to incorporate.
3. Drain Potatoes and chop slightly. Pour tuna dressing over and fold together. Top with eggs and green onions. Sprinkle with turmeric and drizzle with olive oil
4. Enjoy both warm or cooled! 

Healthy Notes:

• Eggs, are awesome. Period.
• Carrots, because they have beta-carotene, improve night vision. And honestly, how cool is that!?
• Turmeric inhibits cancer cell growth and improves liver function!
• Canned Tuna: Try to find the best tuna possible! Omega-3 fatty acids. Need I say more? (Anti-cancer fighting power!)
