This creamy buttermilk dill potato salad is easy to make & light. It is lower in fat and calories than most potato salads. Dill is a classic addition to potato salad, that I love, so it is a primary flavor here.
It may seem challenging to make a creamy potato salad to compliment your barbeque meats, but it is actually easy, with the right ingredients. Low fat buttermilk adds a lot of flavor, but not much in the way of calories. Teamed with light mayonnaise and flavored vinegar it manages to be waistline friendly, while still delivering great flavor and creaminess.

Thanks for telling me not to rinse the potatoes. I made potato salad yesterday with my aunt's old recipe. It was much better, more like I remember hers was.
