Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 pounds small red-skinned new potatoes

1/2 small green bell pepper -- chopped

1/2 cup frozen green peas -- defrosted

2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots

1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

1/2 cup watercress leaves

Dressing:

1/4 cup silken tofu

1/4 cup soy sour cream

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon wasabi paste

1 teaspoon olive oil

salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over

high heat. Reduce the heat and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced

with a knife, about 15 minutes from when the water boils. Drain. When the

potatoes are cool enough to handle, halve or quarter them, depending on their

size, and place them in a bowl.

 

Add the green pepper, peas, shallots, and dill to the potatoes.

 

To make the dressing, combine the tofu, sour cream, lemon juice, vinegar, and

wasabi in a blender or food processor and puree. Blend in the oil and season to

taste with salt and pepper.

 

Pour the dressing over the potato salad, and toss to blend. Add the watercress

and toss until evenly combined. Adjust the seasonings, and serve.

NOTES : Creamy potato salads often owe their appeal to a dressing high in fat,

cholesterol, and calories. This combination of new red-skinned potatoes, baby

green peas, and watercress is an exception. Its wasabi-spiked, soy-based

dressing is low in fat and contains no cholesterol. A generous portion of this

salad contains fewer than 100 calories, so you can enjoy seconds comfortably.
