Corned Beef Potato Salad
1 can corned beef (the kind you have to open with the attached key),
chilled, fat scraped off, and cut into 1/2" cubes
3 large potatoes, any kind, about 1 1/2 lbs.
4 green onions, minced
1 can (about 1 1/2 c.) sauerkraut, drained and rinsed and chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped/diced
1/3 c. minced dill pickles (Clausen brand is the best)
1 small jar diced pimientos (optional, for color)
Dressing:
1/2 c. low-fat mayo or salad dressing
1 c. low-fat sour cream
2-4 T. prepared mustard (we like the spicy brown mustard)
1-2 T. horseradish
1/4 c. milk or broth or pickle juice
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
Combine last 7 ingredients in a large bowl. Boil whole potatoes in skins
until barely tender. Peel and cut into large pieces (2" x 2"), and place
in dressing mixture while still warm. Toss to coat thoroughly. Stir in
other ingredients. Refrigerate. Taste and adjust for salt several hours
later.
Serve cold on lettuce. Garnish with cherry tomatoes, sliced.
