Mexican Potato Salad 
From the cookbook The McDougall Program for Maximum Weight Loss

Servings: 6 to 8 
Preparation time: 15 minutes (need prepared salsa) 
Cooking time: 30 minutes 


2 pounds red potatoes, cut into  chunks 
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thaw
1 large tomato, chopped 
1 bunch of scallions, chopped 
½ cup fresh salsa 
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley 
freshly ground pepper

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, or until just tender. (Don’t let them get too soft). Remove from the heat, drain, and place in a large bowl. Add the corn, tomato, and scallions. Combine the salsa and lime juice. Pour over the salad and mix well. Add the cilantro or parsley and a few twists of pepper. Mix gently and serve at once. 


Variation: 
This salad can also be chill before serving, and it is just as good the next day, so I always make lots of it.
