Chilled Potato Salad That Will Reach All the Way Down to the Colon
It’s May and time for freshly dug potatoes. We love a simple, chilled potato salad and think this recipe is a great candidate for this year’s graduation party or Midsummer celebrations. Or why not an afternoon picnic in the parc.
But whatever you do, don’t eat it in the sauna. Chilled potatoes contain much more fiber than warm ones, so try not to bring them into the sauna. Tomatoes, on the other hand, you can eat in the sauna. They contain an antioxidant called lycopene, and unlike other antioxidants lycopene loves heat so much that it actually increases when tomatoes are heated up.
Next time you’re in the sauna, swap the beer for cherry tomatoes. It will probably be a pleasant surprise for your friends.
