Ok so I LOVE this recipe because not only is it a great spring/summer recipe for cookouts and grilling out, but it's also a great dish to pair with hearty Fall recipes! This potato salad is actually a recipe by the one and only Sheryl Crow and who better to get a healthy recipe from than someone who looks like she does! No...obviously I don't know her personally {I wish, right?} but I got this from my Cooking Light magazine and they featured her potato salad from her new best-selling cookbook If It Makes You Healthy.
Appropriate name for her cookbook, huh?

I paired this potato salad with a delicious pork tenderloin {recipe coming soon!} and we absolutely loved it. The sweet corn really completes this dish creating a fully balanced meal. This potato salad is lightened up by swapping fatty mayo for olive oil and cider vinegar...yummm. Throw in some fresh basil and the infusion of flavors is incredible! I actually modified this recipe just a bit by using less oil than it called for. I personally hate recipes that call for too much oil and thought this came out great.

This sounds like a great dish! I love the idea of having potato salad without mayo! Like you I don't like to use a lot of Olive OIl, like to keep my recipes as light and natural as possible.
This looks delish!! I love corn with potatoes, and I love that a serving is a whole cup!I'm pretty sure I saw this recipe in the mag too, but it didn't look this good :)
Looks great!
Kelly, My word! Your Roasted-Potato and Sweet Corn Salad looks heavenly...I'm always looking for healthy, flavor-packed, lower calorie recipes to combat the cake samplings. This fits the bill. Brava!

Oh this reminds me of summer...and looks super appetizing. Thanks for sharing!
I always look forward to your dishes ... they are so light and delicious!
This looks so delicious. I guess the corn makes this more of a summer recipe but I could have this all year round. I love side dishes with multiple flavors...its like a one stop shop.
Beautiful colours. Always a good sign that a salad is good for you when it has different colours.
This salad is a carb lovers dream, well maybe just mine. And now I've got that song stuck in my head!

I realllly wish I could just eat healthy like this all the time! It really looks great, and I think anything with potatoes and corn in it does NOT need mayo too. Who'd want to mask those beauties?

Fantastic! I love potatoes and corn....why not put them together! I'll have to check out Cheryl Crow's cookbook. I feel silly, but I did't realize she had a book out!

Hi! I was wondering what you thought of using coconut oil instead of canola oil. I'm trying to stay away from the oils, except evoo and coconut. Do you think it would still taste good???
