Potato Salad vs. Pasta Salad – Which is Healthier?

By Liz Conant

Well, according to Yahoo! Shine.com, potato salad is the healthier pick! The article pits two summer BBQ side dish favorites against one another and concludes:

“Although classic potato salad is usually lower in calories than pasta salad (about 360 per cup), the mayonnaise keeps the saturated-fat content high (it typically has 17 grams of fat and 3 grams of saturated fat). But potato salad has one advantage over pasta salad—it’s almost all vegetable. Potatoes actually have many redeeming health qualities: they’re a good source of potassium and vitamin C and naturally deliver some fiber (especially when you keep the skin on) and protein.”
