Re: FAKED POTATO SALAD
Debbie,
I HAVE to hug your neck!!!! I have been eating the butter beans as mashed potaoes and LOVING them (thanks little Mary!!) but it never even occurred to me to try this!
Well I am happy to report I tweaked this recipe for myself. I don't like sweet potato salad so I left out the splenda and vinegar. I just made this like I used to make my old potato salad (with MUCH less mayo) with the boiled eggs and a little onion and I was in HEAVEN! And the coolest part was I was full. It used to be when I ate regular potato salad, that an hour later I was going back for more because my body was turning the potatoes into sugar and blammo I was craving. Not with this recipe.
So again, Thank You Thank You Thank you! I am thrilled.

Re: FAKED POTATO SALAD
Wow Your Welcome!!!! Good to see all the new people scouring the boards and bringing up all the old favorite recipes again!!!! I still make this all the time and sometimes I even mix in a can of white albacore tuna for a main meal. I love the excitement these boards bring when newbies start eating right. Its like we're handing out free prozac!!!! I know when Im eating clean LDL I feel the best I ever feel. Isnt Lets Do Lunch the greatest? Its like all you have to do is think of what your favorite food is and you can easily figure out a LDL substitute. Eating the least objectionable version that still appeals to you. Thats what its all about.
Love and God Bless

Re: FAKED POTATO SALAD
Savannah, your bread & butter pickles and juice probably are loaded with sugar. Might want to watch that.
Glad you are enjoying betato salad. There is also a German one for when Oktoberfest rolls around.

Re: FAKED POTATO SALAD
I was going to modify my own recipe for potato salad but was a bit hesitant. I can cook but I'm not terribly creative or adventurous in the kitchen - although I'm pretty good with oil paint on canvas. Anyway, I appreciate that you've posted your recipe for modified potato salad and I'll give it a try and look forward to enjoying it throughout the year - not just a summer thing. Eljayne
Re: FAKED POTATO SALAD
Think I will try this the way my family likes it
butter beans
a little chopped green peppers
cubed pickles (sweetened wirh splenda)
mustard
lf or ff mayo
I will just wing it and put in the amounts of each item until it looks and tastes like I want it to.
Hope it will be a tasty as some of the other recipes I have made.

Re: FAKED POTATO SALAD
I thought I'd just poke a note in here, since there's new interest about this recipe.
You can find Splenda-sweetened sweet pickles...regular Gherkin style and Bread and Butter. Savannah listed a brand called Nalley, which I've never heard of. I've purchased Mt Olive and Vlasic Splenda sweet pickles at WalMart and our local grocery stores. If you'd like some on had to add to recipes, it's probably worth it to order some online. If you're eating them every day, try to get your grocery store to carry them for you.
You can also "fake" your own sweet pickles. Start with a jar of dill pickles, pour off some of the vinegar, add a few packets of Splenda, refill, subbing a little water so the brine isn't quite a strong. If you start with whole large dills, quarter them. Refrigerate and shake a little for a few days.
If you Google Splenda sweetened pickles there are suggestions all over the web for doing your own, including from scratch. During my search I found this site that has recipes using Splenda: http://food.yahoo.com/partners/splenda Of course, most of them aren't LDL friendly.
But this one is:
Fuzzy Orange Smoothie
Prep Time: 5 min. Cook Time: -Serves: 2.Recipe Provided By: SPLENDA® BRAND
.Ingredients
1 small ripe banana, sliced
1 cup frozen peach slices
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons SPLENDA(R) No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated (or three packets)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1.Combine all ingredients in a blender in the order listed; process mixture until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides.
Yield: 2 servings

Holy cow what a great idea..........I wondered what I would do if they ever stopped making the splenda sweet relish and pickles. Thanks for sharing this.

Re: FAKED POTATO SALAD
I like regular sweet pickle relish (I mean the flavor..I use Mt Olive Splenda sweetened) but if you prefer Bread and Butter, you can make your own with this:
http://food.yahoo.com/recipes/splenda/1 ... er-pickles
Bread and butters are always "yellow" from the turmeric, and they've got a bit of clove flavor.

Re: FAKED POTATO SALAD
Thanks for all the info on pickles!
I've been looking at several of the stores I go to regularly, and haven't been able to find splenda-sweetened pickles or relish. I'll take a look at WalMart, next time I'm near there, and also check into making my own! Nalleys is a Northwest brand, made near Seattle, so y'all in the south, east, and probably midwest won't have it. But then, I haven't ever seen Mt Olive here.
I'm usually a kosher pickle kinda gal, but sometimes there's no substitute for the sweets, or bread & butter. Oh, yum! I thought I was gonna have to give those up for good! Now there's hope!
This is SUCH a great bunch of helpful people!
